Examples

The following example adds prefix/namespace pairs to the XmlNamespaceManager, and then displays all the pairs in the collection.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

      XmlNamespaceManager^ nsmgr = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager( nt );
      
      // Add prefix/namespace pairs to the XmlNamespaceManager.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "", "www.wideworldimporters.com" ); //Adds a default namespace.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "europe", "www.wideworldimporters.com/europe" );
      nsmgr->PushScope(); //Pushes a namespace scope on the stack.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "", "www.lucernepublishing.com" ); //Adds another default namespace.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "partners", "www.lucernepublishing.com/partners" );
      Console::WriteLine( "Show all the prefix/namespace pairs in the XmlNamespaceManager..." );
      ShowAllNamespaces( nsmgr );
