XmlNode porNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//df:PORMessage", nsmgr);

The default namespace declaration (xmlns="http://www.xxx.com/") means
that the elements are in the namespace http://www.xxx.com/. With XPath
1.0 to select elements in a namespace you need to bind a prefix (e.g.
df) to the namespace URI and use the prefix to qualify element names in
your XPath expression.
