Hi Chinto!

Using linq to xml:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("XMLFilePath");
var selectors = from elements in doc.Elements("Employee").Elements("Emp").Elements("Name")
                where elements.Attribute("link").Value.Contains("manager")
                select elements;

string ids = string.Empty;
foreach (var element in selectors)
{
        ids  += element.Attribute("id").Value + ",";
}
Also, for loading from string you can use:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(xmlString);
