xml XDocument from isolatedstorage, for use with LINQ

I'm having trouble in the following code, in that, the XDocument contains NO elements and hence the LINQ query will not execute. I've posted the code and the XML below that. For the life of me I cannot work out why, when the XDocument is populated (this is the xml I have provided from a copy & paste out of visual studio). Any help as to why the Descendants will not find any of the elements I would be very grateful... Regards, Tim.

The Code

// load all of the pictures into the list so we can see the details
IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
XDocument loadedData = XDocument.Load(isoStore.OpenFile(App._PicturesConfig,System.IO.FileMode.Open));
var data = from query in loadedData.Descendants("Picture") 
select new Picture              
{                  
    Name = (string)query.Element("Name"),
    Date = (string)query.Element("Date"),                  
    Url = (string)query.Element("Url")              
};
lb_picListBox.ItemsSource = data;

The code you've posted is incomplete; what is query? Your LINQ query should look like this:

var pictures = from p in loadedData.Descendants( "Picture" )
               select new Picture() {
                 Name = (string)p.Element("Name"),
                 Date = (string)p.Element("Date"),                  
                 Url = (string)p.Element("Url"),
               };

or

var pictures = from p in loadedData.Root.Elements( "Picture" )
               select new Picture() {
                 Name = (string)p.Element("Name"),
                 Date = (string)p.Element("Date"),                  
                 Url = (string)p.Element("Url"),
               };

The above code assumes you have a class called Picture containing the properties Name, Date & Url.
