How can I get the first element after an element with LINQ-to-XML?

You want to use the Descendants axis method and then call the FirstOrDefault extension method to get the first element.

To add slightly to Andrew's answer if you do not know whether smartForm is the root element but still want the title text of the first such entry you would use.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
