Question

Can’t get any result in feeds.
feedXML has the correct data.

XDocument feedXML = XDocument.Load(@"http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=twitter");

var feeds = from entry in feedXML.Descendants("entry")
            select new
            {
                PublicationDate = entry.Element("published").Value,
                Title = entry.Element("title").Value
            };

What am I missing?

Answer 1

You need to specify a namespace on both the Descendents and Element methods.

XDocument feedXML = XDocument.Load(@"http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=twitter");

XNamespace ns = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
var feeds = from entry in feedXML.Descendants(ns + "entry")
            select new
            {
            PublicationDate = entry.Element(ns + "published").Value,
            Title = entry.Element(ns + "title").Value
            };
