# Element (XElement dynamic property)
Gets an indexer used to retrieve the child element instance that corresponds to the specified expanded name.
## Syntax
```xaml
elem.Element[{namespaceName}localName]
```
## Property value/return value
An indexer of the type `XElement Item(String expandedName)`. This indexer takes an expanded name parameter and returns the corresponding <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XElement>, or `null` if there is no element with the specified name.
## Remarks
This property is equivalent to <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XContainer.Element%2A> method of the <xref:System.Xml.Linq.XContainer?displayProperty=fullName> class.
