XmlRootAttribute.Namespace Property
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets or sets the namespace for the XML root element.
Namespace: System.Xml.Serialization
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property Namespace As String
public string Namespace { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: System.String
The namespace for the XML element.
Remarks
The Namespace property conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) specification, Namespaces in XML.
To create prefixed namespaces in the XML document, create an XmlSerializerNamespaces object that contains all the prefix-namespace pairs. The namespace you set for each XmlArrayAttribute must be contained in the XmlSerializerNamespaces object. When the XmlSerializer generates the document, it correctly prefixes the element name for each array item.
Examples
The following example applies the XmlRootAttribute to a class and sets the Namespace property.
