                Response.Write("No Record Found");

it is showing me no record found.

any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This worked in LINQPad:

XNamespace xns = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
var xdoc = XDocument.Load("http://www.bbc.co.uk/arabic/index.xml");
xdoc.Element(xns + "feed").Elements(xns + "entry");

Problem was the lacking namespace.
