Somehow, using linq I can't test it with this CUF field in the beginning:

<NFe>
    <infNFe versao="1.0" Id="NFe0000000000">
    <ide>
        <cUF>35</cUF>
        <!--...-->
    </ide>
</NFe>

With the following code:

XDocument document = XDocument.Load(@"c:\nota.xml");
            var query = from NFe in document.Descendants("NFe")
                        select new
                        {
                            cuf = NFe.Element("infNFe").Element("ide").Element("cUF").Value
                        };

The whole XML loads into document (checked) but NFe.cuf gives me nothing. I guess the parameters inside the nodes are messing it up..

How do I get this "cuf" with linq?
What if I wanted the Id parameter in infNFe ?
