How to serialize correct XML headers

[PMNorris]

All,
I am trying to generate the following header when serializing a class
to XML

<FpML
version="4-0"
xsi:type="TradeAffirmation"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.fpml.org/2003/FpML-4-0
fpml-main-4-0.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.fpml.org/2003/FpML-4-0">
</FpML>

The class is currently declared as:
<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="http://www.fpml.org/2003/FpML-4-0"),
_
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute([DataType]:="TradeAffirmation")>
_
Public Class FpML
End Class
This generates the following:
<FpML xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</FpML>

I am unsure how to get my code to generate the header correctly. Any
ideas?

Many thanks
Paul

PMNorris,
This class should get you the header you're looking for:

<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="http://www.fpml.org
/2003/FpML-4-0")> _
Public Class FpML
<XmlAttributeAttribute()> _
Public version As String = "4.0"

<XmlAttributeAttribute([Namespace]:="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instan
ce")> _
Public schemaLocation As String =
"http://www.fpml.org/2003/FpML-4-0fpml-main-4-0.xsd"

<XmlAttributeAttribute([Namespace]:="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instan
ce")> _
Public type As String = "TradeAffirmation"
End Class

To add the default namespace declaration, you need to pass the name of the
default namespace to the constructor of the XmlSerializer like this:
Dim ser As New XmlSerializer(GetType(FpML),
"http://www.fpml.org/2003/FpML-4-0")
