Hello,
I'm using XML in two different situations, and both call for an XML namespace. I'm new to XML, and am not even sure what an XML namespace is or why I need one.
In the first situation, I'm using XPath to query an XML document. The method XPathNavigator.GetAttribute takes a NamespaceURI argument. Right now, I just supply an empty string for this argument, and everything works fine. Am I doing this correctly, or should I be doing something different?
In the second situation, I have an XML web service. In many places, the code requires an XML namespace. The code-generation tool supplies , however, when I go to tempuri.org, it is suggested that I change this to something else. Why do I need to change it, and what do I need to change it to? What happens if I don't change it, and just use tempuri.org?
Finally, does anybody know of a good, brief tutorial that explains what XML namespaces are and what they're used for?
Thank you for your help.
