XmlDocument xsi: Problem

[Mark Jerde]

I've been looking through MSDN, books and googling for a couple hours but
haven't found the solution yet. I'm using CSharp in VS .NET 2003.

I'm trying to use XmlDocument to save XML files that are valid to a schema
I've developed. I want the root element to look like this:

<TestCase xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "TestCaseSchema _03.xsd">

I've tried several variations of XmlElement.SetA ttribute() and "
XmlAttribute att = [XmlDocument].CreateAttribut e() " The closest I've
gotten to the desired output is (notice the missing "xsi:"):

<TestCase xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
noNamespaceSche maLocation="Tes tCaseSchema_03. xsd">

Many of the things I've tried look more or less like this:

<TestCase xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
d1p1:noNamespac eSchemaLocation ="" xmlns:d1p1="Tes tCaseSchema_03. xsd">

I guess I don't understand DOM well enough to know why these are the
results. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi Mark,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to create a root node like
<TestCase xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "TestCaseSchema _03.xsd">. If there is any
misunderstandin g, please feel free to let me know.

In this case, we can first create an attribute node using
XmlDocument.Cre ateAttribute() and then add it to the element using
XmlElement.SetA ttributeNode() method. Here I wrote some sample code. HTH.

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlNamespaceMan ager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceMan ager(doc.NameTa ble);
nsmgr.AddNamesp ace("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");

XmlElement ele = doc.CreateEleme nt("TestCase") ;
XmlAttribute att = doc.CreateAttri bute("xsi", "noNamespaceSch emaLocation",
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
att.Value = "TestCaseSchema _03.xsd";
ele.SetAttribut eNode(att);
doc.AppendChild (ele);

Kevin -- Works great. Thanks! I was missing the XmlNamespaceMan ager and
att.Value.
