LINQ query problem

Question

Can\'t get any result in feeds. feedXML has the correct data.

XDocument feedXML = XDocument.Load(@\"http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=twitter\");

var feed         


        

Answer 1

You need to specify the namespace:

// This is the default namespace within the feed, as specified
// xmlns="..." 
XNamespace ns = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";

var feeds = from entry in feedXML.Descendants(ns + "entry")
            ...

Namespace handling is beautifully easy in LINQ to XML compared with everything other XML API I've ever used :)
