You have a namespace issue. I recommend using Xml Linq with a dictionary like code below

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication53
{
    class Program
    {
        const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string feed = File.ReadAllText(FILENAME);            
            XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(feed);

            XElement properties = doc.Descendants().Where(x => x.Name.LocalName == "properties").FirstOrDefault();

            Dictionary<string, string> dict = properties.Elements()
                .GroupBy(x => x.Name.LocalName, y => (string)y)
                .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, y => y.FirstOrDefault());

        }
    }
}
