DataSet.Prefix Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets or sets an XML prefix that aliases the namespace of the DataSet .
Namespace:
System.Data Assembly:
System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
public string Prefix { get ; set ; }
The Prefix property is used throughout an XML document to identify elements which belong to the namespace of the DataSet object (as set by the Namespace property).
The following example sets the Prefix before calling the ReadXml method.
private void ReadData(DataSet thisDataSet)
{
thisDataSet.Namespace = "CorporationA" ;
thisDataSet.Prefix = "DivisionA" ;
// Read schema and data.
string fileName = "CorporationA_Schema.xml" ;
thisDataSet.ReadXmlSchema(fileName);
fileName = "DivisionA_Report.xml" ;
thisDataSet.ReadXml(fileName);
}
