XNamespace.Addition Operator
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Combines an XNamespace object with a local name to create an XName.
Namespace: System.Xml.Linq
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Shared Operator + ( _
ns As XNamespace, _
localName As String _
) As XName
public static XName operator +(
XNamespace ns,
string localName
)
Parameters
- ns
Type: System.Xml.Linq.XNamespace
An XNamespace that contains the namespace.
- localName
Type: System.String
A String that contains the local name.
Return Value
Type: System.Xml.Linq.XName
The new XName constructed from the namespace and local name.
Remarks
This operator enables the common idiom of combining a namespace and a local name in the construction of an element or attribute. This idiom provides some of the benefits of having namespace prefixes, in that you can refer to a namespace using a variable that is short. This eliminates syntactic noise in the code that creates XML trees.
Examples
The following example shows the use of the + operator to create an XName from an XNamespace and a local name.
Dim output As New StringBuilder
Dim aw As XNamespace = "https://www.adventure-works.com"
Dim root As XElement = New XElement(aw + "Root", _
New XElement(aw + "Child") _
)
output.Append(root)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
XNamespace aw = "https://www.adventure-works.com";
XElement root = new XElement(aw + "Root",
new XElement(aw + "Child")
);
output.Append(root + Environment.NewLine);
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString();
