	string prefix
)

Parameters

The prefix of the namespace you want to find.

Return Value

StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
// Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
NameTable nt = new NameTable();
XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nt);

// Add prefix/namespace pairs to the XmlNamespaceManager.
nsmgr.AddNamespace("", "www.wideworldimporters.com"); //Adds a default namespace.
nsmgr.AddNamespace("europe", "www.wideworldimporters.com/europe");

String prefix = nsmgr.LookupPrefix("www.wideworldimporters.com/europe");
output.AppendLine(" Before removing prefix: " + prefix);
nsmgr.RemoveNamespace(prefix, "www.wideworldimporters.com/europe");
output.Append(" Before removing prefix: " + nsmgr.LookupPrefix("www.wideworldimporters.com/europe"));
