XDocument Reading XML file with Root element having namespaces

Question

I am having some trouble parsing an XML file with the root node having multiple namespaces. I want to get a list of nodes \'object\' with type string containing \'UserContro

Answer 1

When you call Decendants with a XName parameter the XName'sNameSpace (which happened to be empty) is actually incorporated into the Name in addition to LocalName. So you can query just byLocalName

p.Descendants().Where(p=>p.Name.LocalName == "object")
