Get values from XML Document

Question

So lets say I have this XML document:

<s:Envelope

            </e:EncryptedData>
        </s:Body>
    </s:Envelope>

I want to pragmatically get two values

1) Header > Security > EncryptedKey > CipherData > CipherValue. So it would be ANCElFZ5v....==

2) Body > EncryptedData > CipherData > CipherValue. So it would be 3kESnJnhc8K.....

I have been trying XML to LINQ but can't seem to figure it out.

I have been trying various thing like. But it seems to be not working. Meaning I don't get any values.

XDocument file = XDocument.Load(stream);
var keyEnc = file.Root.Elements("Header").Elements("Security").Elements("EncryptedKey").Elements("CipherData").Elements("CipherValue").ToList();

You have to include the namespaces for that to work. That or do queries on the `LocalName`. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2340411/use-linq-to-xml-with-xml-namespaces — juharr, Apr 11 '18 at 19:29
Maybe this help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30279306/read-from-xml-files-with-or-without-a-namespace-using-xmldocument , and in my experience `XElement` and `XPath` is also good way to read xml — yu yang Jian, Apr 11 '18 at 21:10

The namespace was the issue.
var doc= XDocument.Load(stream); XNamespace ns_e = "http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#";

var encrypKeys = doc.Root.Descendants(ns_e + "CipherValue").ToList();
