Question

I’m working with a XML like this:

<ListOfLore>
      <q1:Lore xmlns:q1="http://www.rold.com/Data.xsd">                
        <q1:LoreNumber>15642</q1:LoreNumber>        
      </q1:Lore>
      <q1:Lore xmlns:q1="http://www.rold.com/Data.xsd">
        <q1:LoreNumber>15644</q1:LoreNumber>        
      </q1:Lore>
</ListOfLore>

I’m doing this and I’m getting nothing

var lores = (from ListOfLore in pjs.Descendants("ListOfLore")
                              from Lore in ListOfLore.Descendants()
                              where Lore.Name.LocalName == ("Lore") 
                              select Lore);

I want to get all of Lore items from the ListOfLore

Answer 1

XNamespace ns = "http://www.rold.com/Data.xsd";
var lores = (from lore in pjs.Descendants(ns + "Lore")
             select lore);

As Jon notes, you don’t need the query syntax. The following is shorter and clearer:

XNamespace ns = "http://www.rold.com/Data.xsd";
var lores = pjs.Descendants(ns + "Lore");
