  The <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement.Value%2A> property makes it easy to access the value of the first element in a collection of <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement> objects. This property first checks whether the collection contains at least one object. If the collection is empty, this property returns `Nothing`. Otherwise, this property returns the value of the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement.Value%2A> property of the first element in the collection.  
   
 > [!NOTE]
->  When you access the value of an XML attribute using the '@' identifier, the attribute value is returned as a `String` and you do not need to explicitly specify the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XAttribute.Value%2A> property.

  To access other elements in a collection, you can use the XML extension indexer property. For more information, see [Extension Indexer Property](../../../visual-basic/language-reference/xml-axis/extension-indexer-property.md).
