Answer 1

You can use the DescendantsAndSelf() method of XElement to get all the nodes and their names.

foreach (XElement child in doc.Root.DescendantsAndSelf())
{
    Console.WriteLine(child.Name.LocalName);
}

DescendantsAndSelf() Returns a collection of elements that contain this element, and all descendant elements of this element, in document order.

Answer 2

With LinqToXml:

var xDoc = XDocument.Parse(mySmlString);
var names = xDoc.Root.Elements("name").Select(x=> x.Value.Trim()).ToArray();
foreach (var name in names)
{
    System.Console.WriteLine(name);
}
