The little ‘gotcha’ in LINQ to XML(geekdaily.net)

So when my query kept returning 0 elements I started to get frustrated. Why wasn’t it working?

The namespace handling in LINQ to XML is a drop-dead awesome feature. I have only used in in VB.NET, but if the namespace that you are using is known to you ahead of time, you can simply import it.

Imports <xmlns:ns="http://namespaceUri">

A quick Google for "LINQ to XML Namespaces" brought this up as the second result on the first page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384460.aspx

You can additionally navigate using the full node name, including the namespace.

@jmferris, thanks for your input. Your suggestion works great for VB, unforetunately I am using C# and C# does not support importing namespaces. The C# solution is not as clean but it doable. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.linq.xnamespace.aspx.

thanks again.

@justin, you should be able to switch the Imports to a using for C#. I haven't personally tried it, but I am see a few people on EggheadCafe saying that it works - although it is not documented in the C# documentation.

Best of luck!
