How do I add a default namespace with no prefix using XMLSerializer
- by OldBob
Hi
Using C# and .Net 3.5; I am trying to generate an XML document that contains the default namespace without a prefix using XMLSerializer. eg.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<MyRecord ID="9266" xmlns="http://www.website.com/MyRecord">
<List>
<SpecificItem>
using the following code
string xmlizedString = null;
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ExportMyRecord));
XmlSerializerNamespaces xmlnsEmpty = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
xmlnsEmpty.Add(string.Empty, string.Empty);
XmlTextWriter xmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter(memoryStream, Encoding.UTF8);
xs.Serialize(xmlTextWriter, myRecord, xmlnsEmpty);
memoryStream = (MemoryStream)xmlTextWriter.BaseStream;
xmlizedString = this.UTF8ByteArrayToString(memoryStream.ToArray());
and class structure
[Serializable]
[XmlRoot("MyRecord")]
public class ExportMyRecord
{
[XmlAttribute("ID")]
public int ID { get; set; }
Now, I've tried various options
XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ExportMyRecord),"http://www.website.com/MyRecord");
or
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "http://www.website.com/MyRecord", ElementName="MyRecord")]
gives me
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<q1:MylRecord ID="9266" xmlns:q1="http://www.website.com/MyRecord">
<q1:List>
<q1:SpecificItem>
I need the XML to have the namespace without the prefix as it's going to a third party provider and they reject all other alternatives.
Any suggestions?
