Hi
I'm trying to parse XML feed that I get via Google Contacts API with LINQ 2 XML. That's what feed looks like:
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:openSearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/" xmlns:gContact="http://schemas.google.com/contact/2008" xmlns:batch="http://schemas.google.com/gdata/batch" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">

I've tried a number of things with linq 2 sql, but they didn't work. Even this simple code snipped doesn't work:
using (FileStream stream = File.OpenRead("response.xml"))
{
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(stream);
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(reader);
XElement feed = doc.Element("feed");
if (feed == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("feed not found");
}
XElement id = doc.Element("id");
if (id == null)
{
Console.WriteLine("id is null");
}
}
Problem is that both id and feed are null here. What wrong am I doing?
