How do I read xml strings with namespaces?

i wasn't able to make the xml work with namespaces.

just in case is when you have like

<element xmlns="this"> something </element>

i only get null. i don't know if it is a limitation in the construct xml or im missing something

well i solved it, you have to use // to get all the elements from the root, and then pick the first element [1] so it is something like:

XML.StringValue("//element[1]/")
