LINQ to XML : Sequence contains no elements - vb.net

Question

I have this XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<xsd:schema id="root" xmlns="" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xsd:import namespace="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" />
<xsd:element name="root" msdata:IsDataSet="true">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:element name="metadata">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="name" use="required" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:attribute name="type" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:attribute name="mimetype" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:attribute ref="xml:space" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="assembly">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="alias" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="data">

<xsd:attribute ref="xml:space" />

</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="resheader">

<xsd:element name="value" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" msdata:Ordinal="1" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="name" type="xsd:string" use="required" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
<resheader name="resmimetype">
<value>text/microsoft-resx</value>
</resheader>
<resheader name="version">
<value>2.0</value>
</resheader>
<resheader name="reader">
<value>System.Resources.ResXResourceReader, System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
</resheader>
<resheader name="writer">
<value>System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter, System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</value>
</resheader>
<data name="Nieuws" xml:space="preserve">
<value>News</value>
</data>
<data name="Pagina's" xml:space="preserve">
<value>Pages</value>
</data>
<data name="searchreasults" xml:space="preserve">
<value>There were no matches found</value>
</data>
</root>
And I also have this method, where I take two files and take some values from them, and then I merge all the values into an object in the second query:
Public Shared Function RetrieveTranslation(ByVal filefrom As String, ByVal fileto As String) As List(Of clsTranslation)
Dim valuefrom = (From l In XElement.Load(fileto).Elements("data") Select l.Element("value").Value).FirstOrDefault
Dim valuetrans = From vl In XElement.Load(filefrom).Elements("data") Select (New clsTranslation With {.Filename = filefrom, .Value = vl.Element("value").Value, .Valueto = valuefrom.ToString, .TranslationId = vl.Attribute("name").Value})
Return valuetrans.ToList
End Function
So, the problem is that when I run the code, there is an "Sequence contains no elements" error in the first query(valuefrom). I debugged and it says that there is nothing in the query, but I don't understand why, 'cos I did similar things and never had a problem like this one.
Any hints?
Thanks in advance,
Alf.
P.S: Oh! And by the way, I'm curious to know if it is well done to do something like I did, create an object from two queries, putting the first value in the second query. Thanks!

SOLVED! My problem was not with the code, but with other XML files that were empty... Thanks for the help!
