WsGetNamespaceFromPrefix function (webservices.h)

  • Article

This function returns a namespace from the prefix to which it is bound.

If the value of the required parameter is set to TRUE and the Prefix is not bound to any namespace a WS_E_INVALID_FORMAT exception will be returned. (See Windows Web Services Return Values.) If the required parameter is FALSE, and the Prefix is not bound to any namespace the ns parameter will be NULL and the function will return S_FALSE.
