I'm trying to read a XML-RSS-Feed from a website. Therefore I use a async download and create a XDocument
with the XDocument.Parse()
Method.
The Document intends to be very simple, like this:
<root>
<someAttribute></SomeAttribute>
<item>...</item>
<item>...</item>
</root>
Now I want to read out all the items. Therefore I tried:
foreach (XElement NewsEntry in xDocument.Descendants("item"))
but this doesn't work. So I found a post in this board to use the qualified name, because there are some namespaces defined in the root element:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/" xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/">
well, I tried all 3 available namespaces - nothing worked for me:
XName itemName = XName.Get("item", "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#");
XName itemName2 = XName.Get("item", "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/");
XName itemName3 = XName.Get("item", "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/");
Any help would be appreciated. (Usually I'm doing the XML-Analysis with Regex - but this time I'm developing for a mobile device, and therefore need to care about performance.)
