say my xml file looks like this.

        <Content xmlns="http://ABCD.com/sdltridion/schemas/XXXXX">
            <first>ABCD</first>
            <second>DCEF</second>
        </Content>

I want to extract Xml namespace from the root tag, ang get the value of XXXXX.

Answer 1

Try this:

var xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);
var ns = xdoc.Root.Name.Namespace.NamespaceName;
var value = new Uri(ns).Segments.LastOrDefault();

Answer 2

You can try XNamespace class

 XNamespace ns = XNamespace.Get("http://ABCD.com/sdltridion/schemas/XXXXX");
 var result = XElement.Load("URL").Descendants(ns + "NODENAME"); 

Thanks
