XDocument.Root.Element returns null

Question

I have XML which is like: ``` false some matrix ...Some more nodes... ``` and code which is like: ``` var doc = XDocument.Parse(myXmlString); Console.WriteLine(doc.Root.Element("Name")); ``` and console shows just an empty space since `doc.Root.Element("Name")` returns `null` =( While I can find this Element among `doc.Root.Elements()` results. `doc.Root.Attribute("MyAttribute")` gives correct result as well. What is wrong with it/me?

Accepted Answer

The `<Name>` element is in the `mylink` namespace:

```
XNamespace mylink = "mylink";

Console.WriteLine(doc.Root.Element(mylink + "Name"));
```

XDocument.Root.Element returns null
