Select Last N elements using LINQ to XML: "

Here’s a simple example of selecting the last ‘N’ elements of a XML document using LINQ to XML

Consider the following XML

In order to select the last two elements, use the IEnumerable<XElement>.Reverse() which inverts the order of the elements in a sequence, and use Take(2) to return 2 elements, as shown in the following code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  // code from DevCurry.com

  XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load('..\\..\\School.xml');
  var students = xDoc.Descendants('Class').Reverse().Take(2);             
  foreach (var student in students)
      Console.WriteLine(student.Element('Student').Value +
          ' ' + student.Element('Name').Value);
  Console.ReadLine();
}
