Windows Phone 7 : Parsing website XML into XDocument

I seem to be having an issue on WP7 trying to Parse XML from a website. For some reason it never populates call. No errors, the xml looks good, I am specifying the NS, but still nothing.

Am I missing something really simple here? 4 hours in and I am banging my head on the desk.

My C# skills are 2 months old, so it could be me (probably will be).

Th开发者_运维百科is is my code that I am using to Parse the received XML from a website...

    public void ParseCallSignData(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Error == null)
        {
            string s = e.Result;

            XDocument doc;

            XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
            settings.DtdProcessing = DtdProcessing.Ignore;
            using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(s), settings))
            {
                doc = XDocument.Load(reader);
            }

            XNamespace ns = @"http://www.qrz.com";

            var calldata = from query in doc.Descendants(ns + "Callsign")
                           select new callsign
                           {
                               call = (string)query.Element(ns +"call")
                           };

And this is the XML I am trying to parse.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

Those '-' characters look suspect. They shouldn't be there. (...although this might be an artefact of cut'n'paste from the browser)

3 months later, but for the ones who want to know. I used something simpler in my applications :

string s = e.Result;
// Load the document
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xml);

// Get the datas you want using doc.Element("...").Element("...")...
// to go down your XML doc
var calldata = from query in doc.Element("Callsign")
               select new callsign
               {
                   call = query.Element("call").Value
               };

Hope it will help somebody.
