SetAttribute xlink:href

[jvanulden]

Hello all,

I am having difficulty figuring out how to create an XmlElement and giving
it an attribute that requires a namespace. Here is what I have so far which
throws an exception because you can't have a : in an attribute name???

XmlElement eOnlineResource = m_context.Creat eElement("Onlin eResource");

eOnlineResource .SetAttribute(" xlink:href", "http://www.w3c.org/1999/xlink",
sldUrl);

Any help is appreciated.

Dim xdoc As New XmlDocument
Dim eOnlineResource As XmlElement

xdoc.LoadXml("< root xmlns='DefaultN SDickster'
xmlns:xlink='ht tp://www.w3c.org/1999/xlink'></root>")

eOnlineResource =
xdoc.CreateElem ent("eOnLineRes ource","Default NSDickster")

eOnlineResource .SetAttribute(" href",
"http://www.w3c.org/1999/xlink", "theValue")

xdoc.FirstChild .AppendChild(eO nlineResource)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The prefix will be in the XML.

Thanks but that still doesn't work. I think it has to do with the fact that
I am operating on a node and not a document. Here is my code:

XmlNode sldUrlNode =
layerNode.Selec tSingleNode("St yleList/Style/SLD/OnlineResource" );

if (sldUrlNode == null)
{
// we need to create the SLD Node if it does not exist
XmlElement eStyleList =
m_context.Creat eElement("Style List");

XmlElement eStyle = m_context.Creat eElement("Style ");
eStyle.SetAttri bute("current", "1");

eStyleList.Appe ndChild(eStyle) ;

XmlElement eSLD = m_context.Creat eElement("SLD") ;

XmlElement eName = m_context.Creat eElement("Name" );
eName.InnerText = layerName;

eSLD.AppendChil d(eName);

XmlElement eOnlineResource =
m_context.Creat eElement("Onlin eResource", "xlink");

eOnlineResource .SetAttribute(" href",
"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink", sldUrl);

eSLD.AppendChil d(eOnlineResour ce);

eStyle.AppendCh ild(eSLD);

layerNode.Appen dChild(eStyleLi st);

}
else
{

sldUrlNode.Attr ibutes[0].Value = sldUrl;
}
}
}

This should help:

XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement eOnlineResource =
xmlDocument.Cre ateElement("Onl ineResource");
XmlAttribute xlinkHref = xmlDocument.Cre ateAttribute("x link",
"href", "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink");
xlinkHref.Value = "http://example.com/example";
eOnlineResource .SetAttributeNo de(xlinkHref);

For the attribute value you obviously want your sldUrl then instead of
the example.com URL the example shows.
