I am having a bit of a problem trying to parse an XML file generated with Axis Java Web Service in C#. The file has the following format:\[code\]<ns:getAcctsDetailResponse xmlns:ns="http://paymentdata.com"> <ns:return xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ax21="http://paymentdata.com/xsd" xsi:type="ax21:AcctsDetail"> <ax21:Status>15</ax21:Status> <ax21:Name>John James</ax21:Name></ns:return></ns:getCustomerAcctsDetailResponse>\[/code\]I use the code below to try to access the element needed but get the following error:\[quote\] The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name.\[/quote\]\[code\]XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load(xml);string accountName= xDoc.Root.Element("ns:return").Element("ax21:Name").Value;\[/code\]Your help will be greatly appreciated.
