in c# to Read certain values from XMLfile

[jacovkss2]

I am trying to read some data from my XML file Names/Name/trckid

• 1) For example from an xml file like the one pasted below I want toread Names/Name/trckid
  eg :trckid= FF7eb01f7-7985-47b1-8f8c-a0e92395d00f
• 2) as well as Names/Name/Files/file/uri where formatCode="2001"
  eg resulting string: uri=http://cont.catalog.address.xyz.com/e2/ds/9b660964.jpg

Here is my sample XML file \[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Names tracking="trckids" execTime="0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:address:catalog"> <Name xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:address:catalog" publishState="Published" lcid="1033" options="0" version="65" filterFlags="32687"> <trckid ref="5ofol35" seoMetaData="http://stackoverflow.com/xyz/gpscatalog/">FF7eb01f7-7985-47b1-8f8c-a0e92395d00f</trckid> <providerId>Test0_2286326_304163829</providerId> <files> <file formatCode="2001" gpsFileId="9B660964-1626-466C-8359-F036506D8769" height="102" width="136" fileHash="4a4bcceb08b4ccdd16a958e8687c9588"> <uri>http://cont.catalog.address.xyz.com/e2/ds/9b660964-1626-466c-8359-f036506d8769.jpg</uri> </file> <file formatCode="2007"> <uri>http://img1.catalog.address.xyz.com/image.aspx?uuid=d7eb01f7-7985-47b1-8f8c-a0e92395d00f&w=136&h=102</uri> </file> <file formatCode="2200" gpsFileId="6C34F723-D798-4DA8-AEE4-0442C239D3A0" fileSize="311469" height="180" width="320" sourceFileHash="6ea74770f622e3e0dc9cf5e229c7de7f"> <uri>http://cont.catalog.address.xyz.com/e2/ds/0909a015-4b6a-4574-be63-c2facd527b9f_0.xml</uri> </file> </files> </Name> <Name xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:address:catalog" publishState="Published" lcid="1033" options="0" version="65" filterFlags="32687"> <trckid ref="5ofol20" seoMetaData="http://stackoverflow.com/xyz/gpscatalog/">FF9eb01f7-7985-47b1-8f8c-a0e92395d00f</trckid> <providerId>Test1TheLorax_2286326_304163829</providerId> <files> <file formatCode="2001" gpsFileId="9B660964-1626-466C-8359-F036506D8769" height="102" width="136" fileHash="4a4bcceb08b4ccdd16a958e8687c9588"> <uri>http://cont.catalog.address.xyz.com/e2/ds/9b660964-1626-466c-8359-f036506d8769.jpg</uri> </file> <file formatCode="2007"> <uri>http://img1.catalog.address.xyz.com/image.aspx?uuid=d7eb01f7-7985-47b1-8f8c-a0e92395d00f&w=136&h=102</uri> </file> <file formatCode="2200" gpsFileId="6C34F723-D798-4DA8-AEE4-0442C239D3A0" fileSize="311469" height="180" width="320" sourceFileHash="6ea74770f622e3e0dc9cf5e229c7de7f"> <uri>http://cont.catalog.address.xyz.com/e2/ds/0909a015-4b6a-4574-be63-c2facd527b9f_0.xml</uri> </file> </files> </Name></Names>\[/code\]I tried with the below given piece of code \[code\] XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xmlstring); XNamespace ns = xdoc.Root.GetDefaultNamespace(); // "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:msnvideo:catalog"; IEnumerable<XElement> names = xdoc.Descendants(ns + "name"); foreach (XElement name in names) { rssFeedItems.Add(new Adressses { trackid= Convert.ToString(name.Element(ns + "trackid").Value), providerID= Convert.ToString(name.Element(ns + "provideid").Value), imageUri = Convert.ToString(name.Element(ns + "uri").Value) }); } Here am able to read first two items ,ie, trackid and providerID ,but not the image uri\[/code\]I need to read the uri that matches Names/Name/files/file@formatcode[2001]/urisomething like \[code\] imageUri = Convert.ToString(name.Element(ns + "Names/Name/files/file@formatcode[2001]/uri").Value)\[/code\]but this just doesn't work . please help
