I want read the CDATA in <"description">

I wrote this

        var x = e.Result;// e is downlaoded xml file

        var videos = XElement.Parse(e.Result);

        var fList = (from haber in videos.Descendants("channel").Elements("item")
                     select new Video
                     {
                         title = haber.Element("title").Value,
                         link = haber.Element("link").Value,
                         //description = ???????
                     }).ToList();

what should i write to description ? //EDIT Answer: The same way

but if the description like this?

<![CDATA[<p>Zombiler adına ne umduk ne bulduk!</p> <p> </p><p><img style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; border: 1px solid #333333; float: right;" alt="Black_ops" src="http://or.com/images/stories/haber/haberler6/20120918_Castlevania/Black_ops.jpg" height="0" width="0" /><strong>Black Ops 2</strong>'de Zombi modu olabilir haberi çıktığından beri bir ses, bir görüntü beklerken <strong>Call of Duty</strong>'nin resmi <strong>Youtube</strong> sayfasında aşağıdaki video yayınlandı. Açıkçası ne demek istiyorlar anlamak güç. <p><a href="http://or.com/haberler/1-yeni-oyunlar/10624-esi-gorulmemis-call-of-duty-videosu">Devamını oku...</a></p>]]>

You should be able to use exactly the same code:

description = haber.Element("description").Value

Or

description = (string) haber.Element("description")

LINQ to XML will take care of reading the text for you.
