XmlNamespaceManager.AddNamespace(String, String) Method

Definition

Adds the given namespace to the collection.

public:
 virtual void AddNamespace(System::String ^ prefix, System::String ^ uri);
public virtual void AddNamespace (string prefix, string uri);
abstract member AddNamespace : string * string -> unit
override this.AddNamespace : string * string -> unit
Public Overridable Sub AddNamespace (prefix As String, uri As String)

Parameters

prefix
String

The prefix to associate with the namespace being added. Use String.Empty to add a default namespace.

Note If the XmlNamespaceManager will be used for resolving namespaces in an XML Path Language (XPath) expression, a prefix must be specified. If an XPath expression does not include a prefix, it is assumed that the namespace Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is the empty namespace. For more information about XPath expressions and the XmlNamespaceManager, refer to the SelectNodes(String) and SetContext(XmlNamespaceManager) methods.

uri
String

The namespace to add.

Exceptions

The value for prefix is "xml" or "xmlns".

The value for prefix or uri is null.

Examples

The following example uses XmlNamespaceManager to resolve namespaces in an XML fragment.

using System;
using System.Xml;

public class Sample
{

    public static void Main()
    {

        XmlTextReader reader = null;

        try
        {

            // Create the string containing the XML to read.
            String xmlFrag = "<book>" +
                           "<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>" +
                           "<author>" +
                           "<first-name>Jane</first-name>" +
                           "<last-name>Austen</last-name>" +
                           "</author>" +

            reader = new XmlTextReader(xmlFrag, XmlNodeType.Element, context);

Remarks

XmlNamespaceManager does not check prefix and uri for conformance.

XmlReader checks names, including prefixes and namespaces, to ensure they are valid XML names according to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Namespaces specification. XmlNamespaceManager is used internally by XmlReader, so to avoid a duplication of efforts, XmlNamespaceManager assumes all prefixes and namespaces are valid.

If the prefix and namespace already exist within the current scope, the new prefix and namespace pair will replace the existing prefix/namespace combination. The same prefix and namespace combination can exist across different scopes.

The following prefix/namespace pairs are added by default to the XmlNamespaceManager. They can be determined at any scope.

Prefix Namespace
xmlns http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ (the xmlns prefix namespace)
xml http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace (the XML namespace)
String.Empty String.Empty (the empty namespace). This value can be reassigned a different prefix. For example, xmlns="" defines the default namespace to be the empty namespace
