Here is my VB.NET version of Dexter Legaspi C# Version

Shared Function RemoveAllNamespaces(ByVal e As XElement) As XElement
        Return New XElement(e.Name.LocalName, New Object() {(From n In e.Nodes Select If(TypeOf n Is XElement, RemoveAllNamespaces(TryCast(n, XElement)), n)), If(e.HasAttributes, (From a In e.Attributes Select a), Nothing)})
End Function
