AddNamespace | Adds the given namespace to the collection. | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetEnumerator | Returns an enumerator to use to iterate through the namespaces in the XmlNamespaceManager. | |
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetNamespacesInScope | Gets a collection of namespace names keyed by prefix which can be used to enumerate the namespaces currently in scope. | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
HasNamespace | Gets a value indicating whether the supplied prefix has a namespace defined for the current pushed scope. | |
LookupNamespace | Gets the namespace URI for the specified prefix. | |
LookupPrefix | Finds the prefix declared for the given namespace URI. | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
PopScope | Pops a namespace scope off the stack. | |
PushScope | Pushes a namespace scope onto the stack. | |
RemoveNamespace | Removes the given namespace for the given prefix. | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Remarks
XmlNamespaceManager stores prefixes and namespaces as strings.
Examples
Dim output As New StringBuilder()
Dim xmlFrag As String = _
"<root>" & _
"<data>" & _
"<items>" & _
"<item id='1'>" & _
"</item>" & _
"</items>" & _
"</data>" & _
"</root>"
Using reader As XmlReader = XmlReader.Create(New StringReader(xmlFrag))
Dim nsmanager As New XmlNamespaceManager(reader.NameTable)
nsmanager.AddNamespace("msbooks", "www.microsoft.com/books")
nsmanager.PushScope()
nsmanager.AddNamespace("msstore", "www.microsoft.com/store")
Dim prefix As String
For Each prefix In nsmanager
output.AppendLine(("Prefix" + prefix + _
" Namespace=" + nsmanager.LookupNamespace(prefix)))
Next prefix
End Using
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
// Create the string containing the XML to read.
String xmlFrag =
@"<root>
<data>
<items>
<item id='1'>
</item>
</items>
</data>
</root>";
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xmlFrag)))
{
XmlNamespaceManager nsmanager = new XmlNamespaceManager(reader.NameTable);
nsmanager.AddNamespace("msbooks", "www.microsoft.com/books");
nsmanager.PushScope();
nsmanager.AddNamespace("msstore", "www.microsoft.com/store");
foreach (String prefix in nsmanager)
{
output.AppendLine("Prefix" + prefix + " Namespace=" +
nsmanager.LookupNamespace(prefix));
}
}
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
