XmlArrayItemAttribute.Namespace Property

Definition

Gets or sets the namespace of the generated XML element.

C#
public string Namespace { get; set; }
C#
public string? Namespace { get; set; }

Property Value

The namespace of the generated XML element.

Examples

The following example applies an XmlArrayItemAttribute and sets the Namespace property.

C#
public class Transportation
{
   // Sets the Namespace property.
   [XmlArrayItem(typeof(Car), Namespace = "http://www.cpandl.com")]
   public Vehicle[] MyVehicles;
}

Remarks

The Namespace property conforms to the World Wide Web Consortium specification Namespaces in XML.

To create namespaces to use in the XML document and associated prefixes, you must create an XmlSerializerNamespaces that contains all the prefix and namespace pairs. The namespace you set for each XmlArrayAttribute must be contained in the XmlSerializerNamespaces. When the XmlSerializer generates the document, it correctly prefixes the element name for each array item.
