Get InnerText from Collection

Question

Is there a way to get the innertext of a node when the node is inside a collection Currently i have this

Collection<string> DependentNodes = new Collection<string>();
foreach (XmlNode node in nodes)
{
  for (int i = 0; i < node.ChildNodes.Count; i++)
  {
    DependentNodes.Add(node.ChildNodes[i].InnerXml);
    //the reason i'm using InnerXml is that it will return all the child node of  testfixture in one single line,then we can find the category & check if there's dependson
   }
}
    string selectedtestcase = "abc_somewords";
    foreach (string s in DependentNodes)
     {
      if(s.Contains(selectedtestcase))
       {
        MessageBox.Show("aaa");
       }

     }

When i debug string s or the index has this inside of it[in a single line]

<testfixture name="1" description="a">
  <categories>
    <category>abc_somewords</category>
  </categories>
  <test name="a" description="a">
    <dependencies>
      <dependson typename="dependsonthis" />
    </dependencies>
  </test>
</testfixture>

What i'm trying to do is when we reach "testfixture 1" it will find "abc_somewords" & search the "dependson typename"node(if any) and get the "typename"(which is "dependonthis").

Could you use linq to xml. Something like the below might be a decent start

xml.Elements("categories").Where(x => x.Element("category").Value.Contains(selectedtestcase));

This is off the top of my head so might will need refining

P.S. Use XElement.Load or XElement.Parse to get your xml into XElements
