Serialize XML with Qualified or Prefixed Root Element

I'm trying to serialize/deserialize the XML for an RSS 1.0 Feed (i.e. RDF)
and the root element, as required by the standard, looks like this:

<rdf:RDF ...>

</rdf:RDF>

However, I've tried everything using XmlRootAttribut e, XmlTypeAttribut e,
XmlSerializerNa mespacesAttribu te, etc, and nothing will serialize to or
deserialize from this root element format.

I can get child elements to be prefixed by using the XmlElementAttri bute and
a namespace, but cannot achieve this with the root element, which is required
to serialize and deserialize RDF documents.

How do you make this work?

It would help if you were to elaborate.

Ok, I'm using XmlSerializer to serialize and deserialize an object to Xml.
Primarily, I am attempting to use the XmlSerializer.D eserialize method to
deserialize an RSS 1.0 (RDF) feed directly into a .NET object.

However, by the specification of the RSS 1.0 (RDF) format, the root element
of the Xml should be <rdf:RDF>.

I have tried everything with the .NET framework to create a .NET class that
will serialize or deserialize to Xml that can begins with a prefixed or
qualified root element such as <rdf:RDF>.

I can use the XmlElement tag to generate Xml elements with a prefix,
however, I cannot make this work for the root element. No combination of
XmlRootAttribut e, XmlTypeAttribut e, etc will serialize or deserialize Xml
files with a prefixed or qualified root element.

Here's the declaration of a class which is at the root of my XML:

[XmlType("testRe sults",
Namespace = "urn:testResult s.namespace.com ")]
public class TestResults

Answer:

1. Instantiate an XmlSerializerNa mespaces object.
2. Use the Add method of the object to add all (prefix, namespace) pairs
needed.
3. Include the object as the third parameter in the Serialize method of the
XMLSerializer object.

I have a set of schemas for two different XML files that share common structures through the use of "import". Eventually, the main XSD file (which just gathers pieces from the common stuff to show what goes in this root element) contains: <xs:element name= "ImageBox" type="ns:ImageBox_t" form="qualified" /> I use a validating reader to pull this into an XmlDocument.

When we moved a project from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0, we ran into an issue with some code that inserts a datatable from IDataReader.GetSchemaTable() into a dataset, and then serializes the dataset to XML. I need to strip all of the qualified type information and the rest of the junk from the serialized XML. Is there a recommended approach to this sort of issue? 1.1 output (I want): <DataType>System.Int32</DataType>
