So I'm trying to retrieve some values from attributes in an XML element but have trouble with the ':'.

<Vehicle xmlns:qs="urn:quote-sys-private-data" qs:Make="ALFA ROMEO" qs:Body="Convertible" qs:NumberOfDoors="2" qs:Fuel="Petrol" qs:TransmissionType="Manual">

I need to get the Make, Body, NumberOfDoors, Fuel and TransmissionType.

Error I get when trying to do the following:

vehicleNode.Element("Vehicle_Model").Attribute("Val").Value,

is,

The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name

vehicleNode is an XElement.

To my knowledge, this is not the same issue as here as this has the <ab:test> as an element and not an attribute on an element.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

@MattJones No problem – Patrick Hofman Jun 20 '17 at 08:05
You could try `vehicleNode.Element("Vehicle_Model").Attribute(XName.Get("Val", "urn:quote-sys-private-data")).Value,` – Keyur PATEL Jun 20 '17 at 08:06
