Parsing GML data using C# Linq to XML

Question

I know this is most likly very basic and been asked a thousand times but for some reason I just can't get it to work. I have a gml file that looks like the following: ``` 152.035953 -28.2103190007845 152.035957 -28.2102020007845 152.034636 -28.2100120007845 152.034617 -28.2101390007845 152.035953 -28.2103190007845

Accepted Answer

My guess is that you haven't included the namespace. Here's a short but complete program which shows all the coords:

```
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("test.xml");
        XNamespace gml = "http://www.opengis.net/gml";

var query = doc.Descendants(gml + "coord")
            .Select(e => new { X = (decimal) e.Element(gml + "X"),
                               Y = (decimal) e.Element(gml + "Y") });

foreach (var c in query)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(c);
        }
    }
}
```
