c# - the type name text does not exist in the type xmlnodetype -

i trying read section xml file in c#. tried using code here compiler error under text in xmlnodetype.text weird thing comes intellisense , gives same error else element ,comment etc.. missing?

xmltextreader reader = new xmltextreader(xmldoc); list<string> paths = new list<string>(); while (reader.read()) {     if (reader.nodetype == xmlnodetype.element && reader.name == "paths")         foreach(xmlnodetype.text aa in reader.readinnerxml())             paths.add(aa); } reader.close(); 

xml file

<config>     <paths>       <input>c:\</input>       <output>c:\</output>       <log>\logs</log>     </paths>      <systemownerroles>       <supplier>supplier</supplier>       <mop>mop</mop>     </systemownerroles> </config> 

xmlnodetype enum. xmlnodetype.text value, not type, you're trying use type of aa variable. furthermore readerinnerxml() returns string, it's not clear how expect iterate on it.

do have use xmltextreader this? xml work simpler using linq xml. example, think need:

var paths = xdocument.load(xmldoc)                      .descendants("paths")                      .elements()                      .select(element => (string) element)                      .tolist();
