Answer 1

There is no direct way. You'll have to iterate and select. For instance:

var doc = XDocument.Parse(
    @"somevalue12");
var textNodes = from node in doc.DescendantNodes()
                where node is XText
                select (XText)node;
foreach (var textNode in textNodes)
{
    Console.WriteLine(textNode.Value);
}
