Try this one

var doc = XDocument.Parse(data);  
var names = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable());
names.AddNamespace("emtpy", "http://qusetons.com/Cdc/AbcSchema.xsd");
Console.WriteLine(doc.XPathSelectElement("/emtpy:Abc/emtpy:xxx", names).Value);

Really this is the format i ma expecting . But while executing i am getting the below error "Namespace Manager or XsltContext needed." – user2799127 Dec 12 '13 at 05:34
Very fine it is working good. the issue is i havent added names as an argument. One more is how can i avoid this "/empty" with a blank string – user2799127 Dec 12 '13 at 05:42
