How to add xsi:schemaLocation attribute to XML element

[kaush]

Hi all,

I am trying to serialize a C# object into a XML document
using "XmlSerializer" class. One of the elements of the XML document
needs a "xsi:schemaLocation" attribute. I am not sure how to add this
to the XML element
Please help me with if you can.

Thanks,

The root element of the document can contain, along with all the xmlns
stuff, an attribute called
xsi:schemaLocation="namespaceURI filename.xsd"

There are two tokens inside the single string. This is a hint for the
validator to know where to find a physical xsd file to go with that
namespace.

If I add it to the root element of the element for which I need to add
the xsi:schemaLocation attribute, it does not seem to be working.

Below is the partial XML doc:

<ProcessMessage
xmlns="http://www.starstandards.org/webservices/2003/12/transport">
<payload
xmlns="http://www.starstandards.org/webservices/2003/12/transport">
<Content id="Content0">
<rey_ServiceStatusRequest
xmlns="http://www.starstandards.org/STAR"> ...this goes on .
"rey_ServiceStatusRequest" parent is "Content"
I need to add the xsi:schemaLocation attribute to
"rey_ServiceStatusRequest" element. Actually this XML document I
produce it from a C# object. I use XMLSERIALIZE class to serialize the
object into XML document. For some reason I am not able to add the
xsi:schemaLocation attribute. I am able to add schemaLocation attribute
without the "xsi" prefix. I am able to do this using
//[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute(Dat aType="anyURI")].
This declaration is for a particular memeber of the class.

Could you please help me out ?

The only other option I have is to construct the XML doc "element" by
"element" which I do not want to do.

Please help
