XNamespace::Addition Operator (XNamespace^, String^)

 
equivalentCodeEntity

Combines an XNamespace object with a local name to create an XName.

Namespace:   System.Xml.Linq
Assembly:  System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)

public:
static XName^ operator +(
	XNamespace^ ns,
	String^ localName
)

Parameters

ns
Type: System.Xml.Linq::XNamespace^

An XNamespace that contains the namespace.

localName
Type: System::String^

A String that contains the local name.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml.Linq::XName^

The new XName constructed from the namespace and local name.

This operator enables the common idiom of combining a namespace and a local name in the construction of an element or attribute. This idiom provides some of the benefits of having namespace prefixes, in that you can refer to a namespace using a variable that is short. This eliminates syntactic noise in the code that creates XML trees.

The following example shows the use of the + operator to create an XName from an XNamespace and a local name.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.

In Visual Basic, this is the preferred idiom:


                Imports <xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com">

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim aw As XNamespace = GetXmlNamespace()
        Dim root As XElement = _
            <Root>
                <Child/>
            </Root>
        Console.WriteLine(root)
    End Sub
End Module

This example produces the following output:

<Root xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com">
  <Child />
</Root>
