Remarks

The XmlNamespaceDeclarationsAttribute attribute can be applied only once in a class to a field or property that returns an XmlSerializerNamespaces object.

The XmlNamespaceDeclarationsAttribute allows you to store the prefixes and the associated namespaces used in an XML document. For example, one common usage of the attribute is to store XPath data, as it is defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (www.w3.org) document, XML Language (XPath) Version 1.0. In brief, an XPath is a string that contains many namespace prefixes and local names, along with some other syntax.

The XPath language allows for the association of a prefix with a path and using the prefix within the XML document. For example, the following XML document named "select" contains a prefix ("cal") associated with a specific URI (http://www.cohowinery.com/calendar/). The element contains an attribute named "path" that contains the XPath.

 <select xmlns:cal ="http://www.cohowinery.com/calendar/" path="cal:appointments/@startTime" />

The schema for this might look like the following.

 <element name="select">
    <complexType>
       <simpleContent>
          <attribute name="path" />
       </simpleContent>
    </complexType>
 </element>

Without the XmlNamespaceDeclarationsAttribute, the association between the prefix and the namespace is lost.

To retain the association between the prefix and the namespace URI, add a member that returns an XmlSerializerNamespaces object and apply the XmlNamespaceDeclarationsAttribute attribute to the member, as shown in the following C# and Visual Basic code.

 // C#
 public class Select {
   [XmlAttribute] public string path;
   [XmlNamespaceDeclarations] public XmlSerializerNamespaces xmlns;
 }

 ' Visual Basic
 Public Class Select
    <XmlAttribute> Public path As String
    <XmlNamespaceDeclarations> Public xmlns As XmlSerializerNamespaces
 End Class

When serialized, the schema for the generated XML document contains the XML Schema definition (XSD) element named appinfo. The element further contains a metadata element named keepNamespaceDeclarations, set to the name of the member that contains the namespace declarations. The following XML fragment shows the schema.

 <xs:element name="select">
    <xs:complexType>
       <xs:annotation> 
          <xs:appinfo>
           <keepNamespaceDeclarations>xmlns</keepNamespaceDeclarations>
          </xs:appinfo> 
       </xs:annotation> 
       <xs:simpleContent>
          <xs:attribute name="path" />
       </xs:simpleContent>
    </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

On deserialization, the xmlns field contains an XmlSerializerNamespaces object that contains all namespace prefix definitions.

On serialization, the user can add prefix-namespace pairs to the XmlSerializerNamespaces object using the Add method. This is shown in the following C# and Visual Basic code.

 // C#
 using System;
 using System.IO;
 using System.Xml.Serialization;
 [XmlRoot("select")]
 public class Select {
    [XmlAttribute]
    public string xpath;
    [XmlNamespaceDeclarations]
    public XmlSerializerNamespaces xmlns;
 }
 public class Test {
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
       Select mySelect = new Select();
       mySelect.xpath = "myNS:ref/@common:y";
       mySelect.xmlns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
       mySelect.xmlns.Add("MyNS", "myNS.tempuri.org");
       mySelect.xmlns.Add("common", "common.tempuri.org");
       XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Select));
       ser.Serialize(Console.Out, mySelect);
    }
 }
 // Output:
 // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
 // <select xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 // xmlns:common="common.tempuri.org" xmlns:MyNS="myNS.tempuri.org" xpath="myNS:ref/@common:y" />

       Dim mySelect As SelectPath = New SelectPath()
       mySelect.xpath = "myNS:ref/@common:y"
       mySelect.xmlns = New XmlSerializerNamespaces()
       mySelect.xmlns.Add("MyNS", "myNS.tempuri.org")
       mySelect.xmlns.Add("common", "common.tempuri.org")
       Dim ser As XmlSerializer = New XmlSerializer(mySelect.GetType)
       ser.Serialize(Console.Out, mySelect)
    End Sub
 End Class
 'Output:
 ' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
 ' <select xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
 ' xmlns:common="common.tempuri.org" xmlns:MyNS="myNS.tempuri.org" xpath="myNS:ref/@common:y" />

Also note that the member to which the attribute is applied contains only the prefix-namespace pairs that belong to the XML element defined by the class. For example, in the following XML document, only the prefix pair "cal" is captured, but not the "x" prefix. To get that data, add a member with the XmlNamespaceDeclarationsAttribute to the class that represents the root element.

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <x:root xmlns:x="http://www.cohowinery.com/x/">
   <x:select xmlns:cal="http://www.cohowinery.com/calendar/" path="cal:appointments/@cal:startTime" />
 </x:root>
