how do i get data from xml

I have created a form which have two text boxes. txtName and txtJob.
What i did is whenever user enter Name and job in respective boxes,
those Name and Job got saved as xml like this

'<'NameJobConfig'>'

' <'Name>NameFromTextBox'<'/'Name'>

<'job'>JobFromTextBox '<'/'job'>'

'<'/'NameJobConfig'>'

========================

My code :

XDocument xNameJobXml = new XDocument(

new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-16", "yes"),

new XComment("Name job Configuration"),

new XElement("NameJobConfig",

new XElement("Name", txtName.Text),

new XElement("job", txtJob.Text))

);

msg = xNameJobXml.ToString();

}

==================

i saved this xml as string in a string variable msg. This xml persist somewhere in collection as string.
now i want when i run the instance again i want to retrieve the data "Name" and "Job" into txtName field and txtJob field
from that xml which i had generated and and saved in string var..

How can i do it? Looping through string which is holding the xml? plz help me.

Try with below code:
string xmlData = "NameFromTextBoxJobFromTextBox";

XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlData);

var jobList = (from rec in xdoc.Descendants("NameJobConfig")
select new
{
      Name = rec.Element("Name").Value,
      Job = rec.Element("job").Value
}).SingleOrDefault();

txtName.Text = Convert.ToString(jobList.Name);
txtJob.Text = Convert.ToString(jobList.Job);
