  hello I am new in this topic and even trying to replicate the code in the post i do not manage.

  
  

  I try with this code and 

  IEnumerable<XElement> rootCategory = test.Root.Elements("productItems");

  foreach (XElement productItemTest in rootCategory.Elements("productItem"))

  {

  //first of all the productItemTest looks like is empty and not assigned but i have more than 2000 productITem in the xml 

  //and in addition here i would like to copy somehow and i am not sure how all fields inside each productItem

  }

  
  

  my xml file has this format.

  <div></div>

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
  <response xmlns="http://mytest.com">
           <page>0</page>
           <items>5</items>
           <total>86999</total>
           <query>auto</query>
           <productItems>
              <productItem id="b41ef4142dd453af3ecec7536d106000"><name>yyy</name><link>http://...</link>...</productItem>
              <productItem id="e812451eaef9c300652e6ac02d04a611">...</productItem>
              <productItem id="fded6e2f02c74c0acae48f6ec4b7c711">...</productItem>
              <productItem id="d50523c267e0cb3ccd7767c989eb49ea">...</productItem>
              <productItem id="659e30d5a8b40dc08cf83ab8659b17a4">...</productItem>
   	</productItems>
  </response>

  If you are new to using LINQ to XML then start by reading the documentation, either online at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387098.aspx or in your local MSDN/Visual Studio documentation.

  For your XML you need to know about how to deal with namespaces in LINQ to XML:

  XNamespace ns = test.Root.Name.Namespace;
  
  
  IEnumerable<XElement> rootCategory = test.Root.Elements(ns + "productItems");
  
  
  foreach (XElement productItemTest in rootCategory.Elements(ns + "productItem"))
  {
    string id = (string)productItemTest.Attribute("id");
    // ...
  }
