creating XmlElment of type <sys:String></sys:String> with code in c#

[kevz83]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a XML Element in C# of the form
<sys:String x:Key="MyGroup2_SuperTip">Group 2 supertip en</sys:String>

where
xmlns:x="

http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

are specified in the header already.
But when i do

XmlElement e1 = xmldoc.CreateElement("sys:String");
e1.SetAttribute("x:Key", "check2_Label");
e1.InnerText = "check 2 label en";

i get
<String Key="check2_Label" xmlns="">check 2 label en</String>

whereas i want
<sys:String x:Key="check2_Label" xmlns="">check 2 label en</sys:String>

Any Help will be appreciated

Thanks.

Should check out the overload list. Something like this.

[tt]XmlElement e1 = xmldoc.CreateElement("sys","String","clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib");
e1.SetAttribute("Key","[ignore]

http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml

[/ignore]","check2_Label");
e1.InnerText = "check 2 label en";
[/tt]

but this will give me
<sys:String afc:Key="check2_Label" xmlns:sys="somevalue" xmlns:afc="somevalue">check 2 label en</sys:String>

whereas i want it
<sys:String x:Key="check2_Label">check 2 label en</sys:String>

where sys and x are the xmlns mentioned in the top level already

Upon re-read, since e1 is meant to be a newly created element, the attribute Key is nowhere created yet, hence that piece of SetAttribute is wrong, sorry! Do this instead?
[tt]
XmlAttribute attr=e1.SetAttributeNode("Key","[ignore]

http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml

[/ignore]");
attr.Value="check2_Label";
[/tt]

Right but even after doing this i will get something like
<sys:String afc:Key="check2_Label" xmlns:sys="somevalue" xmlns:afc="somevalue">check 2 label en</sys:String>

but i want
<sys:String x:Key="check2_Label">check 2 label en</sys:String>

i dont want xmlns displayed as it is already displayed at the top of the file

I don't know... I just ask myself does inheritence of namespace work no more? why then the "header" does not do its job?
