Hi,
I got this nested query to work but its only giving me the first item in <date> as opposed to the whole list.

T

Dim xd As New XDocument
          xd = XDocument.Load (Server.MapPath("/App_Data/courseList.xml"))
					
	Dim query = From q In xd...<product> _
		    Where Not (q.parent.@code = "ds" or q.parent.@code = "other") _
		    Order By q.@title _
	            Select New With { _
			.title = q.@title, _
			.duration = q.<duration>.Value, _ 
			.dates = (From d In q.<dates> _
			Select New With {.date = d.<date>.Value}) _	
											 } 			 
						e.Result = query
 
End Sub

Hi,
Forgot to mention had changed the xml:

   "<category code='4wd'  >" & _
            "<product code='lr' title='4wd Bush Driving'>" & _
              "<duration>1 Day</duration>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 5</date></dates>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 6</date></dates>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 7</date></dates>" & _
            "</product>" & _
            "<product code='hr' title='4wd Defensive Driving'>" & _
              "<duration>1 Day</duration>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 8</date></dates>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 9</date></dates>" & _
              "<dates><date>june 10</date></dates>" & _

"<duration>1 Day</duration>" & _
"<dates>" & _
"<date>june 8</date>" & _
"<date>june 9</date>" & _
"<date>june 10</date>" & _
"</dates>" & _
"</product>" & _
"<product code='hr' title='4wd Defensive Driving'>" & _
"<duration>1 Day</duration>" & _
"<dates>" & _
"<date>june 18</date>" & _
"<date>june 19</date>" & _
"<date>june 20</date>" & _
"</dates>" & _
"</product>" & _
"<product code='sr' title='Self-Recovery'>" & _
"<duration>1 Day</duration>" & _
