Here’s a nice solution from mike a moogly.me.uk – just strip all of the useless namespaces from XDocument object and query away!

public void RemoveNamespace(XDocument xdoc)

{

foreach (XElement e in xdoc.Root.DescendantsAndSelf())

{

if (e.Name.Namespace != XNamespace.None)

{

e.Name = XNamespace.None.GetName(e.Name.LocalName);

}

if (e.Attributes().Where(a => a.IsNamespaceDeclaration || a.Name.Namespace != XNamespace.None).Any())

{

e.ReplaceAttributes(e.Attributes().Select(a => a.IsNamespaceDeclaration ? null : a.Name.Namespace != XNamespace.None ? new XAttribute(XNamespace.None.GetName(a.Name.LocalName), a.Value) : a));

}

}

}
