I am creating a new XDocument from a table. I have to validate the document from an XSD document and it keeps failing because it add the xmlns="" to one of the Elements when it shouldn't. Here's parts of the code that are pertinent.
XNamespace xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
XNamespace xmlns = "https://uidataexchange.org/schemas";
XElement EmployerTPASeparationResponse = null;
XElement EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection = new XElement(xmlns + "EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection", new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "xsi", xsi), new XAttribute(xsi + "schemaLocation", "https://uidataexchange.org/schemas SeparationResponse.xsd"));
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
new XDeclaration("1.0", null, "yes"), EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection);
//sample XElement populate Element from database
StateRequestRecordGUID = new XElement("StateRequestRecordGUID");
StateRequestRecordGUID.SetValue(rdr["StateRequestRecordGUID"].ToString());
//sample to add Elements to EmployerTPASeparationResponse
EmployerTPASeparationResponse = new XElement("EmployerTPASeparationResponse");
if (StateRequestRecordGUID != null)
{
EmployerTPASeparationResponse.Add(StateRequestRecordGUID);
}
//the part where I add the EmployerTPASeparationResponse collection to the parent
EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection.Add(EmployerTPASeparationResponse);
The above code produces the following xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="https://uidataexchange.org/schemas SeparationResponse.xsd" xmlns="https://uidataexchange.org/schemas">
<EmployerTPASeparationResponse xmlns="">
<StateRequestRecordGUID>94321098761987654321323456109883</StateRequestRecordGUID>
</EmployerTPASeparationResponse>
</EmployerTPASeparationResponseCollection>
Notice the element EmployerTPASeparationResponse. It has an empty xmlns attribute. What I want to happen is to just write EmployerTPASeparationResponse with no attributes at all.
