Answer 1

You have a namespace that you have to use.

XNamespace ns = "http://www.nwpp.org/eide";


var query1 = doc.Descendants(ns +"MessageInfo").Select(s => new MessageInfo
                             {
                                 SYSGENID = s.Element(ns +"SysGenID").Value,
                                 TIME_STAMP = s.Element(ns +"TimeStamp").Value,
                                 SENDER = s.Element(ns +"Sender").Value,
                                 RECEIVER = s.Element(ns +"Receiver").Value,
                                ENTITY_CODE = s.Element(ns +"EntityCode").Value
                             }).FirstOrDefault();
