Error - object reference not set to an instance of an object

Hi

I am getting error 'object reference not set to an instance of an object' when using following code to retrieve data from SharePoint list  

Xnamespace ns = "#RowsetSchema"; 

var query = from x in e.Result.Descendants()

where x.Name == ns + "row"

select x.Attribute("ows_BrandName").Value;

 but when I am using following code i.e without 'Value' it works & display ows_BrandName = 'Pepsodent'

Xnamespace ns = "#RowsetSchema"; 

var query = from x in e.Result.Descendants()

where x.Name == ns + "row"

select x.Attribute("ows_BrandName");

Can someone tell me what's wronge with the first code block? How to get ony value  part ?

Thanks
