sorting XML

Hi,

I would like to read the simple XML below.

<list version="1.0">
<meta>
  <type>resource-list</type>
</meta>
<resources start="0" count="4">
  <resource classname="Quote">
    <field name="name">Vincent</field>
    <field name="username">Hill</field>
    <field name="age">0.32</field>
    <field name="hair">black</field>
  </resource>
  <resource classname="Quote">
    <field name="name">John</field>
    <field name="username">Tedelon</field>
    <field name="age">27</field>
    <field name="hair">brown</field>
  </resource>
  <resource classname="Quote">
    <field name="name">Michael</field>
    <field name="username">Lopez</field>
    <field name="age">20</field>
    <field name="hair">red</field>
  </resource>
  <resource classname="Quote">
    <field name="name">Frank</field>
    <field name="username">Lopez</field>
    <field name="age">25</field>
    <field name="hair">black</field>
  </resource>
</resources>
</list>

Open in new window

and be able to find the record and the corresponding name with the max age.

How best can it be done with the minimum lines of code?

thanks!

One possible approach would be load the XML into a System.Data.DataSet, and then use a filter to find the record that you need.

Thanks @TheLearnedOne, can you show me the code to do that for the above XML?
