xnamespace

I have modified the MSDN example to reflect my problem. When using a namespace I can't get the document to validate as I would expect and when validating a document that doesnt have a namespace it validates regardless of whether or not it has an error in it or not. Dim errors As Boolean = False Private Sub XSDErrors(ByVal o As Object, ByVal e As ValidationEventArgs) Console.WriteLine("{0}", e.Message) errors = True End Sub Private Function AddNameSpace(ByVal xDoc As XDocument, ByVal ns As XNamespace) As XDocument For Each element As XElement In xDoc.Descendants element.Name = ns + element.Name

I want to create a Xml file that looks something like this: <Root xmlns:ns1="name1" xmlns:ns2="name2"> <ns1:element1 /> <ns1:element2 /> <ns2:element3 /> </Root> How can I accomplish this using XAttribute, XElement, XNamespace, and XDocument where the namespaces are dynamically added. I assume by "namespaces are dynamically added" you mean the namespace prefix. This generates the document, how close is it to what you meant? XNamespace ns1 = "name1", ns2 = "name2"; XElement elem = new XElement("Root", new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "ns1", ns1), new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "ns2", ns2),

I have some XML data (similar to the sample below) and I want to read the values in code. Why am I forced to specify the default namespace to access each element? I would have expected the default namespace to be used for all elements. Is there a more logical way to achieve my goal? Sample XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ReceiptsBatch xmlns="http://www.secretsonline.gov.uk/secrets"> <MessageHeader> <MessageID>00000173</MessageID> <Timestamp>2009-10-28T16:50:01</Timestamp> <MessageCheck>BX4f+RmNCVCsT5g</MessageCheck> </MessageHeader> <Receipts> <Receipt> <Status>OK</Status> <

I need to create the following XML and I'm trying to do this using XDocument. However, I'm having trouble specifying the name spaces. <AssessmentOrderRequest xsi:schemaLocation="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2007-04-15 http://ns.hr-xml.org/2_5/HR-XML-2_5/StandAlone/AssessmentOrderRequest.xsd" xmlns="http://ns.hr-xml.org/2007-04-15" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> </AssessmentOrderRequest> This is the sort of code that I'm looking for, however, I can't create attributes with a colon in the name for the xsi:schemaLocation . return new XDocument( new XElement("AssessmentOrderRequest
