How do I use XPath with a default namespace with no prefix?

Question

What is the XPath (in C# API to XDocument.XPathSelectElements(xpath, nsman) if it matters) to query all MyNodes from this document?

You need to use an XmlNamespaceManager as follows:

   XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(@"..\..\XMLFile1.xml");
   XmlNamespaceManager mgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());
   mgr.AddNamespace("df", "lcmp");
   foreach (XElement myNode in doc.XPathSelectElements("configuration/df:MyNode", mgr))
   {
       Console.WriteLine(myNode.Attribute("attr").Value);
   }
