I have the following xml:
<ns1:TRetLote_GNRE xmlns="http://www.gnre.pe.gov.br" xmlns:ns1="http://www.gnre.pe.gov.br">
<ns1:ambiente>1</ns1:ambiente>
<ns1:situacaoRecepcao>
<ns1:codigo>100</ns1:codigo>
<ns1:descricao>Lote recebido com Sucesso</ns1:descricao>
</ns1:situacaoRecepcao>
<ns1:recibo>
<ns1:numero>1600831117</ns1:numero>
<ns1:dataHoraRecibo>2016-01-14 14:18:48</ns1:dataHoraRecibo>
<ns1:tempoEstimadoProc>2000</ns1:tempoEstimadoProc>
</ns1:recibo>
</ns1:TRetLote_GNRE>
And I'm using the following code to get the value of the 'code' tag
Dim xmlBase As String = retorno.OuterXml
Dim xXml As XElement = XElement.Parse(xmlBase)
Dim num As String = xXml.Elements("codigo").Value
But it is returning 'Nothing', can it be the namespace of xml?
