XMLDocument appendChild delema

[djcomber]

Hi,
I have a an xmldocument that creates an entry but with a xmlns="" attached, And because I have a validating schema it fails on this node.

code is as follows

Dim oEmailNode As XmlElement = coGLobalXMLDoc.CreateElement("Email")
' add attributes to the node
oEmailNode.SetAttribute("DisplayName", oEmail.DisplayName)
oEmailNode.SetAttribute("to", oEmail.EmailTo)
oEmailNode.SetAttribute("subject", oEmail.Subject)
oEmailNode.SetAttribute("body", oEmail.Body)
oEmailNode.SetAttribute("enabled", clbGlobalEmails.GetItemChecked(i).ToString.ToLower )

'add node to xml document
xmlNode.AppendChild(oEmailNode)

coGLobalXMLDoc.Save(Path & "\XXXXXXXX.xml")

I should see this
<Email DisplayName="XXXXXX" to="[e-mail]" subject="XXXXXX" body="test" enabled="true" />

but i get this
<Email DisplayName="XXXXXX" to="[e-mail]" subject="XXXXX" body="test" enabled="true" xmlns="" />

I have tried removing the xmlns attribute after the append but that doesn't work.

What do I need to do to stop this from being put in.

Cheers :confused:

For those who may have the smae problem

I created a node with out a namesapce and this by default adds xmls="" to the node as it doesn't have a name space.

I Changed
Dim oEmailNode As XmlElement = coGLobalXMLDoc.CreateElement("Email")

to be
Dim oEmailNode As XmlElement = coGLobalXMLDoc.CreateElement("Email", "XXXXXXX")

"XXXXXXX" being the namespace given in the rootNode xmlns:="XXXXXX"

this generates the node without it's own blank xmlns of xmlns=""

:D
