xml document with xmlns and xsi

[Elsje]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a xml document but I have a small problem with it.
When I take a look at the result it almost looks fine except for one small detail.

This is my result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document xmlns:xsi="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns="urn:uso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsdain.008.001.02">
<CstmrDrctDbtInitn xmlns="">
<GrpHdr>
<MsgId>bbbb_Z0522</MsgId>
<CreDtTm>2013-05-07T07:40:16</CreDtTm>
<NbOfTxs>1</NbOfTxs>

Why is there an xmlns next to the tag 'CstmrDrctDbtInitn'.

This is my code:
writerFirstTime.WriteStartDocument()
writerFirstTime.WriteStartElement("Document", "urn:uso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsdain.008.001.02")
writerFirstTime.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "xsi", Nothing, "

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance")

writerFirstTime.WriteStartElement("", "CstmrDrctDbtInitn", "")
writerFirstTime.WriteStartElement("", "GrpHdr", "")

I hope someone can tell me what I did wrong.

Thanks in advance
Elsje

Did you override the WriteStartElement method in a class of your own? I ask because the MSDN definition of the WriteStartElement method shows it only takes one parameter, yet you are passing 3 parameters.
