Gets an XName object from a local name and a namespace.
Assembly: System.Xml.Linq (in System.Xml.Linq.dll)
'Declaration Public Shared Function Get ( _ localName As String, _ namespaceName As String _ ) As XName
Parameters
- localName
- Type: System.String
A local (unqualified) name.
- namespaceName
- Type: System.String
An XML namespace.
Return Value
Type: System.Xml.Linq.XNameAn XName object created from the specified local name and namespace.
This method contains overloads that allow you to create an XName. You can create it from an expanded XML name in the form {namespace}localname, or from a namespace and a local name, specified separately.
A much more common and easier way to create an XName is to use the implicit conversion from string.
Because XName are atomized, if there is an existing XName with exactly the same name, the assigned variable will refer to the existing XName. If there is no existing XName, a new one will be created and initialized.
The following example shows the use of this method.
'add the following line to the the Imports section: 'Imports <xmlns="http://www.adventure-works.com"> Dim output As New StringBuilder Dim name As XName = XName.Get("{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root") Dim el As XElement = New XElement(name, "content") output.Append(el) output.Append(Environment.NewLine) ' The preferred approach for specifying an XName in a namespace ' for Visual Basic is to import a global namespace. Dim el2 As XElement = <Root>content</Root> output.Append(el2) output.Append(Environment.NewLine) OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
