RSS Feed Trouble w/ Linq - asp.net

Question

Trying to read an RSS and select information using Linq but can't seem to get it working.
Here is my code:
XDocument feedXML = XDocument.Load(
"http://eventful.com/atom/performers/bliminal-/P0-001-000192452-0");
var feeds = from feed in feedXML.Descendants("entry")
select new
{
Title = feed.Element("title").Value,
Link = feed.Element("link").Value,
Description = feed.Element("content").Value
};
And here is the format of my RSS:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xml:lang="en-US" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss" xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">

Answer 1

The problem is that the entry elements are in an XML namespace (the xmlns attribute in each entry).
You need to do this:
XNamespace atom = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
var feeds = from feed in feedXML.Descendants(atom + "entry")
select new {
Title = feed.Element(atom + "title").Value,
Link = feed.Element(atom + "link").Value,
Description = feed.Element(atom + "content").Value
};
This code uses an implicit cast to create an XNamespace object, then uses XNamespace's overloaded + operator to create an XName. For more information, see here.
