Add Namespace to element tags?

Wayne Wengert

I am exporting an XML file based on a dataset using VB.NET. This works fine
but the resulting xml file does not include namespace prefixes, which are
required by another tool I am trying to use (Altova Stylevision). (See
samples below) Stylevision won't see a file as valid unless it includes the
namespace prefixes? I am confused about the whole namespace issue? It is not
clear to me what the namespace really does here - or why it is needed? Is
there a way to have .NET create xml files that include the namespace?

I keep struggling with prefixes and namespaces too. Usually I keep playing
with the ElementFormDefa ult and AttributeFormDe fault properties until I get
the desired result.

Default namespace and attributes

by: John L. Clark | last post by:

I am curious as to the rationale, and effect, of having default namespaces not applying (directly) to attributes (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#defaulting). Given an attribute without a namespace prefix, what is its namespace, if default namespaces do not apply? Are (either of) prefixed or non-prefixed attributes correct? For example, are the following equivalent: <html:br class="foo"...

XmlSchema Element with Namespace/Qualified Name

hi. --short version-- i have an .xsd file (XML Schema). It has many elements in it (tags).

If you tell the application more than it wants to know, if will get mad and probably eat you.
