Exception when using XName and namespace

I have an XML file that I must read. I am using XmlReader combined with XElement. The problem is when I try to use this syntax:

var test = field.Element(nameSpace + "value").Value;

I get this exception:

The character ':', hexadecimal value 0x3A, can not be used in a name

The namespace is like "http://anURL" so it is correct while the field XElement is:

<field name="Name" type="String" xmlns="http://anUrl">
    <value type="String"><![CDATA[aName]]></value>
</field>

How exactly do I use XElement.Element() when I have a namespace involved?

I was referring to answer like this one

...yes... my suspicion is that `nameSpace` is a string. Please show the definition. – spender May 08 '18 at 09:38
@rene it's a string containing the url – Daniele Sartori May 08 '18 at 09:38
@DanieleSartori If it's a `string` and not an `XNamespace`, that's your problem. – spender May 08 '18 at 09:40
@rene it works. If you post the answer i'll check as the correct one if you want – Daniele Sartori May 08 '18 at 09:43

me repeating an answer from the Skeet doesn't make sense. You only needed an extra pair of eyes ;) – rene May 08 '18 at 09:45
