linq drill down statement

How can I write this to linq

first I'm doing
XElement root = doc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument().Root;
then
var query = from c in root.Descendants(W.p) select c;
then
foreach (XElement p in query)
{
XElement pElement = p.Descendants(w + "pStyle").FirstOrDefault() ;
if (pElement != null)
{
string spElement = pElement.Attributes(w + "val").FirstOrDefault().Value as string;
if (strStylesAll.Contains(spElement))
{
if (strStyles.Contains(spElement))
{
strReferenceNumber = strReferenceNumber + 1;
}
else
{ strReferenceNumber = strReferenceNumber; }

strStylesname.Add(spElement + "p" + " " + strReferenceNumber);
// addtoTable(spElement, strReferenceNumber)

}
}}

I know it looks ugly and not
any help would be nice

Please be a little clearer.
You say "How can I write this to linq " - but you are already using linq in this code!
Please tell what exactly your code is doing and what it isn't doing and what it is supposed to do.

Also, post all of the code, and put it in code tags. It is a whole hell of a lot harder to figure out what you are doing or want to do when the code is missing information and hard to read.

The code is very hard to read and you have missing pieces I had to guess at, but when I indent your code properly it looks like this:

Code:

XElement root = doc.MainDocumentPart.GetXDocument().Root;

var query = from c in root.Descendants(W.p) select c;

foreach (XElement p in query)
{
	XElement pElement = p.Descendants(w + "pStyle").FirstOrDefault() ;
	if (pElement != null)
	{
		string spElement = pElement.Attributes(w + "val").FirstOrDefault().Value as string;
		if (strStylesAll.Contains(spElement))
		{
			if (strStyles.Contains(spElement))
			{
				strReferenceNumber = strReferenceNumber + 1;
			}
			else
			{
				strReferenceNumber = strReferenceNumber;
			}

			strStylesname.Add(spElement + "p" + " " + strReferenceNumber);
			// addtoTable(spElement, strReferenceNumber)

		}
	}
}

Its really hard to be sure given there are missing pieces about what you are doing, but this 'should' do the same thing.. I think...

Code:

[COLOR=#0000FF]var[/color] query = [COLOR=#0000FF]from[/color] c [COLOR=#0000FF]in[/color] doc.Root.Descendants([COLOR=#2B91AF]W[/color].p)
            [COLOR=#0000FF]where[/color] c.Descendants(w + [COLOR=#A31515]&quot;pStyle&quot;[/color]).FirstOrDefault() != [COLOR=#0000FF]null[/color]
            [COLOR=#0000FF]select[/color] c.Descendants(w + [COLOR=#A31515]&quot;pStyle&quot;[/color]).FirstOrDefault().Attribute(w + [COLOR=#A31515]&quot;val&quot;[/color]);
 
[COLOR=#0000FF]foreach[/color] ([COLOR=#2B91AF]XAttribute[/color] attr [COLOR=#0000FF]in[/color] query)
    [COLOR=#0000FF]if[/color] (strStylesAll.Contains(attr.Value))
    {
        [COLOR=#0000FF]if[/color] (strStyles.Contains(attr.Value))
            strReferenceNumber++;
        strStylesname.Add(attr.Value + [COLOR=#A31515]&quot;p &quot;[/color] + strReferenceNumber);
    }
