How do I ensure that all of the namespaces I create for my document are displayed only once in the body of the topmost element, and that any references from then on display the prefix only? The way I have things set up at this point causes each namespace to be shown the first time it is referenced. How do I avoid this?
Anyone have suggestions, or is more detail necessary in order to better understand the problem?
A set of flags to indicate whether the full namespace has been output (or not).
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I didn't mean to put emphasis on the fact that the namespaceuris be ouput only once because that actually happens. The namespaceuri appears once the first time the prefix is used, and then only the prefix thereafter. The idea is to have the first occurence for each namespaceuri to appear immdiately after the first element.Originally Posted by Salem
I still don't have a solution to this. I would like my document to avoid referencing the namespaces unless it is a new namespace and it is the first mention of it. It makes my document appear sloppy.
Hi gotclout,
Are you using System.Xml.XmlDocument, or XML Serialization?
System.Xml.XmlDocument
Can anyone help with this? The namespaces appearing all over my document are quite messy.
