XML Syntax when Using Colon (:), in Tags

Question

I am working on a mobile application and have to read a xml feed and parse the information. There it has a special tag as this <dc:creator> Jonethon Owens </dc:creator>

In C# I am using LINQ to XML and don't know how to exactly deal with this type of a tag to parse and get the information.

If someone can explain how to achieve this, really appreciated. Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

You need the namespace prefix.

XNamespace dc = "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";


var query = from lst in XElement.Load(@"foo.xml").Elements(dc +"creator")

            select ...
