q: missing xml namespace in results from list service? related: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11235139/how-to-get-this-attribute-using-linq-to-xml
i am pulling the following data from the sharepoint list service:
<result id=1,new xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/>
    <errorcode>0x00000000</errorcode>
    <id />

</result>

i am then trying to use linq to xml to read some of the data, but it is erroring out because there is a z namespace that is not defined.  has anyone else run into this?  can anyone suggest a work around or explain why the z namespace is not defined?

a: turns out that the namespace was defined at the very end of the z:row.  once i found that i was able to get everything to work.
