C#

XElement xdoc = XElement.Parse(@"<names>
                                            <name>john brown 27 years old</name>
                                            <name>jo lewis 21 years old</name>
                                            <name>mike roberts 30 years old</name>
                                            <name>Dustin links 33 years old</name>
                                          </names>");
        var names = from name in xdoc.Elements("name")
                    select name;
        foreach (var name in names)
        {
            Response.Write(name.Value);
        }

If you want to Load from XML file then you can follow below snippetes.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load(@"c:\hiren.xml");
        XElement xdoc = XElement.Parse(doc.OuterXml);
