Parsing complex XML with C#

Question

I am trying to parse a complex XML with C#, I am using Linq to do it. Basically, I am doing a request to a server and I get XML, this is the code:

XElement x

Currently your XML is invalid since the test namespace is not declared, you can declare it like this:

  1282570
  SLAYERTANIC
  
  aaa

Having this you can use XNamespace to qualify the XML element you want with the correct namespace:

XElement xdoc = XElement.Parse(e.Result);
XNamespace test = "http://foo.bar";
this.newsList.ItemsSource = from item in xdoc.Descendants("item")
                            select new ArticlesItem
                            {
                                LinkID = item.Element(test + "link_id").Value,
                                Title = item.Element("title").Value,
                                Description = this.Strip(item.Element("description").Value).Substring(0, 200).ToString()
                            }
