xmlElement and namespace

[Christoph]

I'm using the following code to create what will be the root element of my
XML document.

XmlDocument controlDocument = new XmlDocument();
//add root node
XmlElement rootNode = controlDocument .CreateElement( "ns0:MyRootElem ent" );
rootNode.SetAtt ribute( "xmlns:ns0" , "http://my.namespace.ur i" );
controlDocument .AppendChild(ro otNode);

I'm trying to get it so that it comes out as follows:

<ns0:MyRootElem ent xmlns:ns0="http ://my.namespace.ur i">
</ns0:MyRootEleme nt>

however, when I'm print out the XML document, it's only printing out as
such:

<MyRootElemen t xmlns:ns0="http ://my.namespace.ur i">
</MyRootElement>

Why is it getting rid of the beginning 'ns0:'? And what can I do to keep it
in there?

thnx,
Christoph

try to change you code to the following:

XmlDocument controlDocument = new XmlDocument();

//add root node, ADD THE NAMESPACE IN THE CREATE ELEMENT method

XmlElement rootNode = controlDocument .CreateElement( "ns0:MyRootElem ent",
"http://my.namespace.ur i" );

//don't do this
//rootNode.SetAtt ribute( "xmlns:ns0" , "http://my.namespace.ur i" );

controlDocument .AppendChild(ro otNode);
Hope that helps
