How to add a namespace with the XmlTextWriter and WriteStartAttribute?

Summary How to add a namespace with the XmlTextWriter and WriteStartAttribute?

You have surely recognized that some XML files contains namespaces. To add a namespace to a XML file you can use the WriteStartAttribute function. You have already seen this function in the example Is it possible to add attributes with XmlTextWriter?, which showed how you can add attributes. In that example I passed two parameters to that function to add an attribute. However in this example I will pass three parameters to add a namespace. The first parameter is the namespace prefix of the attribute, the second parameter is the LocalName and the third parameter is the NamespaceURI. Here is a short example which adds a namespace to a XML file.

Additional information
<%@ import namespace="System.Xml" %> <%@ page language="C#" debug="true"%> <script runat="server"> void page_load(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ XmlTextWriter xmlWriter; xmlWriter = new XmlTextWriter(Server.MapPath("XmlTextWriterWithWriteStartAttribute.xml"), null); // Format the xml automatically to a tree structure xmlWriter.Formatting = Formatting.Indented; // Write xml declaration xmlWriter.WriteStartDocument(); // Write root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("CategoryList"); // Write first sub element of root element xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("Category"); xmlWriter.WriteStartAttribute("MainCategory","1st","01"); xmlWriter.WriteString("XML"); xmlWriter.WriteEndAttribute(); // close writer xmlWriter.Close(); Response.Write("Xml Written"); } </script>

Further additional information
<?xml version="1.0"?> <CategoryList> <Category MainCategory:1st="XML" xmlns:MainCategory="01" /> </CategoryList>
