XML namespaces and XSD.exe

[Namshub]

Oh boy i'm getting tangled in knots here.

I have a schema which contains
<xs:schema
targetNamespace="http://Southend.Schemas.PAS/PASPatientDemographics.xsd"
id="PASPatientDetails"
xmlns:sh="http://Southend.Schemas.PAS/PASPatientDemographics.xsd"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">

now i used the xsd.exe and it now generates elements when I serilaize the
class I get

<RequestingPatient_ID xmlns="">D1234567890</RequestingPatient_ID>

So each emlement contains xmlns="", why is this i just wanted a namespace
to identify the schema, and then all elements / records are part of that
namespace. so i really just want to render

<RequestingPatient_ID>D1234567890</RequestingPatient_ID>

IS this due to some feature in the xsdclass that is rendered.

<System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("x sd", "2.0.50727.42"), _

System.SerializableAttribute(), _

System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute(), _

System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("c ode"), _

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Anonymou sType:=true), _

System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute([Namespace]:="http://Southend.Schemas.PAS/PASPatientDemographics.xsd",
IsNullable:=false)>

<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form :=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)>
_

Public Property RequestingPatient_ID() As String

Get

Return Me.requestingPatient_IDField

End Get

Set

Me.requestingPatient_IDField = value

End Set

End Property

I hope someone can help with this issue.

Thanks

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That says qualified so I don't understand why below

^^^^^^^^^
you get "Unqualified". Are you sure you have actually run xsd.exe on
that XSD above?

oh yes i'd never try to build he class by hand.

So I went back and looked over everything, and noticed that my class file
was not being updated properly when added to the project.. I also now
understand a little further what the qualified attributed will do to the
generation of the class.

You are a star! Thanks for the help
