Get value between xml tags having a "title" as value in name attribute?

Question

I'm currently importing webparts using a file upload control containing collection of webPartDescription (XML)

<wrapper>
  <webParts>
    <webPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v3">
      <metaData>
        <type src="~/Web/Controls/Test/TestHeaderList.ascx" />
        <importErrorMessage>Cannot import this Web Part.</importErrorMessage>

          <property name="UserCreated" type="bool">False</property>

        </genericWebPartProperties>
      </data>
    </webPart>
  </webParts>
</wrapper>

i want to filter and fetch the value of property element inside "genericWebPartProperties" with attribute name ="Title" eg : Orders Header List (in above xml)

i'm new to linq and xml. i tried several solutions but received null

My code behind looks like :

//Uploded xml containing multible webparts wraped under <wrapepr> root tag.
XDocument UploadedXmlWebparts = XDocument.Load(e.UploadedFile.FileContent);

// fetching individual webpart xml and storing in a Xelement Collection
                var WebpartCollection = UploadedXmlWebparts.Root.Elements();
                List<ClsImportWp> WebPartDescriptionList = new List<ClsImportWp>();

                foreach (XElement webPart in WebpartCollection)
                {
                   var TitleName = // Get the title tag value here 
                }

Use xml linq with a dictionary :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;

namespace ConsoleApplication166
{
    class Program
    {
        const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);
            XElement genericWebPartProperties = doc.Descendants().Where(x => x.Name.LocalName == "genericWebPartProperties").FirstOrDefault();
            XNamespace ns = genericWebPartProperties.GetDefaultNamespace();
            Dictionary<string,string> dict = genericWebPartProperties.Elements(ns + "property")
                .GroupBy(x => (string)x.Attribute("name"), y => (string)y)
                .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.FirstOrDefault());
 
        }
    }

}
