How can i get name of the node only not the namespace

Question

I have this node: . I am using LINQ query to get this node. How can i get this node but not the namespace? I tried using:

foreach(var g in xDoc.Descendants(ab + "games"){

         g.Name.ToString();
}

This gives ab(whole namespace string) also with the name. Is there a easier way to remove this?

Answer 1

Use XElement.Name.LocalName property.

Answer 2

You can do it using the LocalName property:

foreach(var g in xDoc.Descendants(ab + "games"){
     g.Name.LocalName;
}
