XPathSelectElement always returns null

Question

Why is this Xpath not working using XDocument.XPathSelectElement?

Xpath:

//Plugin/UI[1]/PluginPageCategory[1]/Page[1]/Group[1]/CommandRef[2]
<

This should probably be a comment on @Cumbayah's post, but I can't seem to leave comments on anything.

You are probably better off using something like this instead of using XmlReader to get the nametable.

var xml = ... XML from your post ...;
var myXDocument = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var namespaceManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());
namespaceManager.AddNamespace("prefix", "http://www.MyNamespace.ca/MyPath");

var result = ...;
