XmlTextWriter::WriteQualifiedName Method (String^, String^)
Writes out the namespace-qualified name. This method looks up the prefix that is in scope for the given namespace.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
Parameters
- localName
-
Type:
System::String^
The local name to write.
- ns
-
Type:
System::String^
The namespace URI to associate with the name.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | localName is either null or String.Empty. localName is not a valid name according to the W3C Namespaces spec. |
Note |

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, we recommend that you create XmlWriter instances by using the XmlWriter::Create method and the XmlWriterSettings class to take advantage of new functionality. |
For example, the following Microsoft Visual C# code:
writer.Formatting = Formatting.Indented;
writer.WriteStartElement("root");
writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns","x",null,"urn:abc");
writer.WriteStartElement("item");
writer.WriteStartAttribute("href",null);
writer.WriteString("#");
writer.WriteQualifiedName("test","urn:abc");
writer.WriteEndAttribute();
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Close();
Generates the following output:
<root xmlns:x="urn:abc"> <item href="#x:test"/> </root>
If ns maps to the current default namespace, no prefix is generated.
When writing attribute values, this method generates a prefix if ns is not found. When writing element content, it throws an exception if ns is not found.
If this writer supports namespaces (Namespaces is set to true), this method also checks that the name is valid according to the W3C Namespaces in XML recommendation (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names).
The following example writes out a portion of a XSD schema.
#using <System.Xml.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::IO; using namespace System::Xml; int main() { XmlTextWriter^ writer = nullptr; String^ filename = "sampledata.xml"; writer = gcnew XmlTextWriter( filename, nullptr ); // Use indenting for readability. writer->Formatting = Formatting::Indented; // Write the root element. writer->WriteStartElement( "schema" ); // Write the namespace declarations. writer->WriteAttributeString( "xmlns", nullptr, "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ); writer->WriteAttributeString( "xmlns", "po", nullptr, "http://contoso.com/po" ); writer->WriteStartElement( "element" ); writer->WriteAttributeString( "name", "purchaseOrder" ); // Write the type attribute. writer->WriteStartAttribute( nullptr, "type", nullptr ); writer->WriteQualifiedName( "PurchaseOrder", "http://contoso.com/po" ); writer->WriteEndAttribute(); writer->WriteEndElement(); // Write the close tag for the root element. writer->WriteEndElement(); // Write the XML to file and close the writer. writer->Flush(); writer->Close(); // Read the file back in and parse to ensure well formed XML. XmlDocument^ doc = gcnew XmlDocument; // Preserve white space for readability. doc->PreserveWhitespace = true; // Load the file. doc->Load( filename ); // Write the XML content to the console. Console::Write( doc->InnerXml ); }
