{"The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name."} -

[EDN Admin]

I have code that will get the values of an RDL.
I have done this successfully for one RDL. In another RDL, that is a bit different, it gives me the hexadecimal error.
Im not entirely sure why I am getting this error since it worked in my "simple" RDL.

<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>
<span style="color:Blue; public <span style="color:Blue; static <span style="color:Blue; void GetRDLParameters(<span style="color:Blue; byte[] reportDefinition)
{
<span style="color:Green; //Get the report definition namespace from app.config
<span style="color:Blue; string reportDefinitionNameSpace = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ReportServiceConstants.ReportDefinitionNameSpace];

MemoryStream definitionStream = <span style="color:Blue; new MemoryStream(reportDefinition);

XElement x;

x = XElement.Load(definitionStream);

<span style="color:Green; // Get data sets.
<span style="color:Blue; var dataSetElements = x.Descendants(reportDefinitionNameSpace + <span style="color:#A31515; "DataSet");


<span style="color:Green; //Lopo through each dataset to get the name of the dataset
<span style="color:Blue; foreach (XElement dataSetElement <span style="color:Blue; in dataSetElements)
{

...DO STUFF HERE

}

}

It says that the ":" character is in line 5 when I look at the exception.
Here is a short snippet of the XML:

Im a bit stumped b/c I dont think I see a ":" in line 5. Theoretically nothing else changed from my "simplistic" RDL.
Have I missed something that I should have taken into account?
Thanks.
