Hi Santhi,

XElement Departments =
new XElement("Departments",
new XElement("Department",
new XElement("DepartmentID", "1"),
new XElement("Name", "Sales"),
new XElement("GroupName", "Sales and Marketing"),
new XElement("ModifiedDate", "1/6/1998 00:00:00")
)
);

IEnumerable myDep =
from dep in Departments.Descendants("Department")
where (string)dep.Element("Name") == "Sales"
select dep;

if (myDep.Count() == 0)
{
Departments.Add(
new XElement("Department",
new XElement("DepartmentID", "1"),
new XElement("Name", "Sales"),
new XElement("GroupName", "Sales and Marketing"),
new XElement("ModifiedDate", "1/6/1998 00:00:00")
));
}

Regards
