XML Elements have the same attributes

[lltaylor2000]

Hello,

I am creating an XML Document using XmlDocument.
I can create my top node no problem

However when I add child nodes they seem to inherit the xmlns=""
attribute (see xml below).
How can I stop this?

-------------------------
Code snippet
-------------------------

n = xmlDoc.CreateElement("nl", "MyXML", "http://www.myurl.com");
XmlAttribute nns = xmlDoc.CreateAttribute( "xmlns" );
nns.InnerText = @"www.myurl.com/xml";n.Attributes.SetNamedItem( nns );
xmlDoc.AppendChild(n);

XmlNode TemplateNode;
TemplateNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Template");
n.AppendChild(TemplateNode);

---------------------
Resulting XML
---------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<nl:MyXML xmlns="http://www.myurl.com/xml"
xmlns:vl="http://www.myurl.com">
<Template xmlns="">

</Template>
</vl:VNETList>

That is fine if you want to have that element in a certain namespace.
XmlAttribute nns = xmlDoc.CreateAttribute( "xmlns" );
nns.InnerText = @"www.myurl.com/xml";n.Attributes.SetNamedItem( nns );
That does not help, consider removing that.
xmlDoc.AppendChild(n);

XmlNode TemplateNode;
TemplateNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement("Template");

If you want that Template element to be in the namespace with the URI
then use the proper overload of CreateElement e.g.
TemplateNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement(
"",
"Template",
"www.myurl.com/xml"
)
You have to do that for each element to be created in a certain
namespace. Later when the DOM document is being serialized the
serializer will take care of adding namespace declaration attributes.
