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 ElementFormDefault and AttributeFormDefault properties until I get
the desired result.
