c# - SyndicationFeed: How to access content:encoded? -

in windows 8 store app i'm reading xml data using syndicationfeed. few items of rss feeds contain example content:encoded (xmlns:content='...') elements. think there's no way content of these elements through syndicationitem?!

that's why try inside foreach(syndicationitem item in feeditems) this:

item.getxmldocument(feed.sourceformat).selectsinglenode("/item/*:encoded]").innertext; 

but doesn't work. , i'm note sure how use namespacemanager etc. in winrt. i'm accessing content:encoded via nextsibling method of other element, that's not clean way.

so how can access content of element best?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:content="uri"> <channel>   <.../>   <item>   <title>example entry</title>   <description>here text containing interesting description.</description>   <link>http://www.wikipedia.org/</link>   <content:encoded>content try access</content:encoded>  </item>  </channel> </rss>  

just use xnamespace

xnamespace content = "uri";  var items = xdocument.parse(xml)                 .descendants("item")                 .select(i => new                 {                     title = (string)i.element("title"),                     description = (string)i.element("description"),                     link = (string)i.element("link"),                     encoded = (string)i.element(content + "encoded"), //<-- ***                  })                 .tolist();
