Problems with System.Xml

[Giulio Petrucci]

Hi there,

I have this snippet:

using System.Xml;
....

XmlDocument doc = ...;
XmlNode foo = doc.CreateElement("foo");
foo.Attributes.Appen(doc.CreateAttribute("id", "23"));

my 'foo' tag looks like this:

<foo d2p1:id="" d2p1="23"/>

My questions are:
1. Why? ;-)
2. How can I get rid of the d2p stuff and have just <foo id="23/>?

Thanks in advance,
Giulio

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement foo = doc.CreateElement("foo");
foo.SetAttribute("id", "23");
doc.AppendChild(foo);

Hi Raghupathi,

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlElement foo = doc.CreateElement("foo");
foo.SetAttribute("id", "23");
doc.AppendChild(foo);

Terrific. This fixes my problem.
Anyway, my first question still remains: why? ;-)

Ciao,

Well the two argument overload of CreateAttribute
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dtyc931d.aspx
takes a qualified name and a namespace URI as its two arguments.

You seemed to expect you could pass in an attribute name and an
attribute value but that is not what CreateAttribute is meant for.
