Xsd question

[Robert Strickland]

I developed a schema that uses the following for schema settings:

elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:at=http://www.mycompany.com
targetNamespace="http://www.mycompany.com"

The goal is to namespace the my elements with "at" - example is
at:myElementName.

I use xsd to build a class. I then use the class to add data and then use
the XmlSerializer to serialize the class. When I look at the Xml stream
generated from the serialization, I do not see my target name space prefixed
to the elements.

How can I serialize and get the target namespace to appear on the Xml stream
correctly?

Robert,

The best way is to pass an XmlSerializerNamespaces object to the
Serialize() method, as I describe in [0].

You could also modify the generated class to force the namespace prefix
when serializing instances [1], but I am generally not a friend of
modifying generated code

That worked. Thanks.
