Using XPathNavigator to read Atom XML with ASP.Net

Asked by Epiktet in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Programming for ASP.NET, RSS

Tags: , , ,

I have a XML feed from Youtube that uses the Atom standard, but ASP.Net 2.0 doesn't seem to be able to handle this standard?

The XML feed start as follows:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'  [...]

I'm using the code posted below, and this works fine as long as I remove the xmlns attribute (xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom') in the XML feed, but as I'm getting the feed directly from Youtube I'm not able to edit it myself and need to find a way that ASP.Net 2.0 can read the code "as is".Start Free Trial

XPathDocument document = new XPathDocument("http://www.epiktet.no/feeds/youtubefeed.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator();
XPathNodeIterator nodes = navigator.Select("/feed/entry/id");
 
nodes.MoveNext();
XPathNavigator nodesNavigator = nodes.Current;
       
XPathNodeIterator nodesText = nodesNavigator.SelectDescendants(XPathNodeType.Text, false);
 
string youtubeVideoID = nodesText.Current.Value.ToString();
