Reading in XML/KML files using C#

Question

I\'m trying to import the kml xml Google earth file into an application, but i can\'t seem to get the xDocument syntax right in order to do what i want, i\'m wondering if anyone

Answer 1

My guess is that you've forgotten to use the namespace in your LINQ to XML queries. It's easy enough to extract the data from this:

XNamespace ns = "http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2";
var doc = XDocument.Load("file.xml");
var query = doc.Root
               .Element(ns + "Document")
               .Elements(ns + "Placemark")
               .Select(x => new PlaceMark // I assume you've already got this
                       {
                           Name = x.Element(ns + "name").Value,
                           Description = x.Element(ns + "description").Value,
                           // etc
                       });

If that doesn't help, please post a complete example of what you've tried, and what went wrong.
