How to parse XML with namespace

Question

Bonjour,

I have an xml doc:

    
        XXX

To get rid of namespaces in XLinQ queries, use similar method mentioned below:

String xml_string = @"
                          
                              XXX
                          
                          
                              YYY
                          
                          
                              ZZZ
                          
                      ";

var query = XElement.Parse(xml_string).Descendants()
           .Where(c => c.Name.LocalName.ToString() == "name")
           .ToArray();

foreach (String item in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine(item);
}
