XmlSchemaObject::Namespaces Property
Gets or sets the XmlSerializerNamespaces to use with this schema object.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
public: property XmlSerializerNamespaces^ Namespaces { XmlSerializerNamespaces^ get(); void set(XmlSerializerNamespaces^ value); }
Property Value
Type: System.Xml.Serialization::XmlSerializerNamespaces^The XmlSerializerNamespaces property for the schema object.
This gives the Schema Object Model (SOM) the ability to add xmlns declarations. This is useful when you want to declare a prefix to qualify declarations from an imported schema or use in the xpath attribute of the xs:selector element.
You can also use the Namespaces property to change namespace prefixes in a schema. For example, you can change the prefix used by a schema for the W3C XML Schema namespace from xs to xsd as illustrated in the following example.
In the following example, the prefix myImpPrefix is added at the schema element level. The prefix is then used to qualify definitions that are imported from myImportNamespace.
#using <System.dll> #using <System.Xml.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Xml; using namespace System::Xml::Schema; int main() { XmlSchema^ s = gcnew XmlSchema; s->TargetNamespace = "myNamespace"; s->Namespaces->Add( "myImpPrefix", "myImportNamespace" ); // Create the <xs:import> element. XmlSchemaImport^ import = gcnew XmlSchemaImport; import->Namespace = "myImportNamespace"; import->SchemaLocation = "http://www.example.com/myImportNamespace"; s->Includes->Add( import ); // Create an element and assign a type from imported schema. XmlSchemaElement^ elem = gcnew XmlSchemaElement; elem->SchemaTypeName = gcnew XmlQualifiedName( "importType","myImportNamespace" ); elem->Name = "element1"; s->Items->Add( elem ); s->Write( Console::Out ); }
The example produces the following XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?> <schema xmlns:myImpPrefix="myImportNamespace" targetNamespace="myNamespace" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <import schemaLocation="http://www.microsoft.com/myImportNamespace" namespace="myImportNamespace" /> <element name="element1" type="myImpPrefix:importType" /> </schema>
