Question

I\'m trying to import the kml xml Google earth file into an application, but i can\'t seem to get the xDocument syntax right in order to do what i want, i\'m wondering if anyone

Answer 1

You didn't include any code, but I would guess that you forgot to include your namespace when referencing things. Here is an example.

Basic access:

var placemarks = xdoc.Element("kml").Element("Document").Elements("Placemark");

Using namespaces:

var ns = XNamespace.Get("http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2");
var placemarks = xdoc.Element(ns + "kml").Element(ns + "Document").Elements(ns + "Placemark");
