c# - How to parse XML in a Windows Phone 7 application -

could tell me how parse xml-string receive wcf-rest service?

my webserive xml-string looks like

<ws> <info> <name>beta</name> <description>prototyps</description> </info> <pages> <page> <name>custom</name> <description>todo</description> </page> ...many other pages... </pages> </ws>

an phone sourcecode:

public void downloadcompleted(object sender, downloadstringcompletedeventargs e) { if (!e.cancelled && e.error == null) { var reply = xelement.parse(e.result).descendants("ws"); // null ... } }

if seek parse through xdocument.load(e.result) exception: file not found.

i want "unique" info of info-node , list of page-nodes values

update if seek load root-element via var item = xdoc.root.descendants(); item assigned whole xml-file.

update 2 seems problem occurs namespaces in root-element. namespaces xdocument parse webservice output not correctly. if delete namespaces works fine. explain me issue? , there handy solution deleting namespaces?

update 3 handy way removing namespaces1

with simple xml if know format wont change, might interested in using xpath:

var xdoc = xdocument.parse(e.result); var name = xdoc.xpathselectelement("/ws/info/name");

but multiple pages, maybe linq xml

var xdoc = xdocument.parse(xml); var pages = xdoc.descendants("pages").single(); var pageslist = pages.elements().select(x => new page((string)x.element("name"), (string)x.element("description"))).tolist();

where page simple class:

public class page { public string name { get; set; } public string descrip { get; set; } public page(string name, string descrip) { name = name; descrip = descrip; } }

let me know if need more explanation.

also select info without xpath:

var info = xdoc.descendants("info").single(); var infoname = info.element("name").value; var infodescrip = info.element("description").value;
