Get the xmlns value from XML file? (XML namespace)

[huckfinn19]

Hi! I am just trying to get the XML namespace value out of my XML file, but can't seem to get it to work! Anyone can help me?

Here's a sample XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<pages xmlns="the_namespace_value_i_want">
<value>5</value>
</pages>

I want to get the value of the xmlns. I tried the following code, but I get values I am not interested in:

XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(@"simple.xml");
XmlNamespaceManager nsm = new XmlNamespaceManager(tr.NameTable);
do{
    foreach (String prefix in nsm) {
	Console.WriteLine("Prefix={0}, Namespace={1}", prefix,nsm.LookupNamespace(prefix));
	} 
}
while (nsm.PopScope());

I get:
-----------
Prefix=xml, Namespace=

http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace

Prefix=xmlns, Namespace=

http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/

Prefix=, Namespace=
-----------

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!
