XML attribute not getting namespace prefix

Question

I need to generate the following XML during serialization: (fragment)

Answer 1

I did some research may be following answer helps

For Attributes to have namespace prefix you have to specify a different namespace tag other than what you have specified http://foo. Following code hopefully will solve your issue. In the code i have remove the namespace for elements and added only for the attribute.

public class IncidentEvent
{
    public string EventDate { get; set; }
    public string EventTime { get; set; }

    [XmlAttribute("EventTypeText", Namespace = "http://foo")]
    public string EventTypeText { get; set; }

}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IncidentEvent xmlObj = new IncidentEvent()
        {
            EventDate = "2012.12.01",
            EventTime = "1:00:00",
            EventTypeText = "Beginining"
        };
        XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
        ns.Add("ett", "http://foo");
        XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(IncidentEvent));
        serializer.Serialize(Console.OpenStandardOutput(), xmlObj, ns);
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}
