Answer 1

This is an old question, but in case someone comes across a 'Typed' xml (e.g from a SharedPreference file of an android app), you can handle it as below: Here is a sample of such an xml I took from an Instagram app.

Note the inconsistency in the value property. Some fields(e.g of type string) don't have it explicitly defined.

var elements = XElement.Load(filePath)
.Elements()
.ToList();
var dict = new Dictionary();    
var _dict = elements.ToDictionary(key => key.Attribute("name").Value,
                        val => val.Attribute("value") != null ?
                        val.Attribute("value").Value : val.Value);
