I have the following code that works in a console app. I copied exactly and pasted into my web app as a function inside a class object.  Inside the web app it gives two errors.  One is saying that System.XML.Linq.XElement is not queryable.   The other is saying that "item1" is not declared.   Both apps have the System.XML and System.XML.Linq references set.   What am I missing?  Thanks.

 Public Function GetSetting() As String

Dim foo = From item In _xml.<appSettings>.<add> _

Select item.@Key, item.@Value

Next

End Function

True that the Console call doesn't need to be there;

 I added System.Core to my references and it did not help.  I tried adding Imports System.Core but it doesn't see it.

I added Imports System.LINQ and the first error went away.  What is the difference between System.XML.LINQ and System.LINQ?  Shouldn't I stick with System.XML.LINQ?

Thanks,

system.linq has the bulk of the linq to object implementation where as System.xml.linq has the LINQ to XML implementation
