Remarks

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

To create namespaces that are associated with prefixes, you must create an XmlSerializerNamespaces that contains the namespaces and prefixes used in the XML document. The namespace you set for each XmlAttributeAttribute must match one of the namespaces in the XmlSerializerNamespaces. When the XmlSerializer generates the XML code, it correctly prefixes each attribute name.
