How to read all child nodes of an XML file

I've got this file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

    </entry>
</feed>

And I want to load all entries and then their title, content and thumbnail. But I have problems even loading the entries. That's my code (data is this xml):

    XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
    xml.LoadXml(data);

    XmlNodeList xnList = xml.SelectNodes("feed/entry");
    foreach (XmlNode xn in xnList) {
        Debug.WriteLine(xn.LocalName.ToString());
    }

The problem is that your XPath doesn't specify the namespaces (so you're actually searching for names with null namespace URIs). Given that feed is the top level element, it's a pretty trivial query - I don't think using XPath is actually helping you here. Try this instead, using XmlElement.GetElementsByTagName:

XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
String atomUri = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
foreach (XmlElement element in root.GetElementsByTagName("entry", atomUri))
{
    // Use element here
}

(If you get the chance to use .NET 3.5, I suggest you start using LINQ to XML - it's much nicer :)

EDIT: Here's a short but complete program printing out the url attribute of each content element:

using System;
using System.Xml;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
        doc.Load("test.xml");

        XmlElement root = doc.DocumentElement;
        String atomUri = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
        String mediaUri = "http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";
        foreach (XmlElement entry in root.GetElementsByTagName("entry", atomUri))
        {
            foreach (XmlElement group in 
                     entry.GetElementsByTagName("group", mediaUri))
            {
                foreach (XmlElement content in 
                         entry.GetElementsByTagName("content", mediaUri))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(content.Attributes["url"].Value);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You can use XmlNamespaceManager to specify namspace from your feed:

XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load(data);

XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable);
manager.AddNamespace("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");

XmlNodeList xnList = xDoc.SelectNodes("atom:feed/atom:entry", manager);
foreach (XmlNode xn in xnList)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(xn.LocalName.ToString());
}

And any type when you trying to select nodes use prefix of the namespace, eg: atom:feed/atom:entry

Adding another namespace to work with multiple ones:

XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable);
manager.AddNamespace("atom", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
manager.AddNamespace("media", "http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/");

XmlNodeList mediaNodes = xDoc.SelectNodes("atom:feed/atom:entry/media:group", manager);

---

You need to use the Atom namespace when you select the feed/entry elements.

Create a namespace manager, add a namespace prefix for the Atom namespace, and then use it in your XPath expression.

For example code, see the accepted answer to this question.

And How to read/write nodes and child nodes from xml file in c# maybe using xpath?
