XmlDocument::CreateElement Method (String^, String^)

 

Creates an XmlElement with the qualified name and NamespaceURI.

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

public:
XmlElement^ CreateElement(
	String^ qualifiedName,
	String^ namespaceURI
)

Parameters

qualifiedName
Type: System::String^

The qualified name of the element. If the name contains a colon then the Prefix property will reflect the part of the name preceding the colon and the LocalName property will reflect the part of the name after the colon. The qualified name cannot include a prefix of'xmlns'.

namespaceURI
Type: System::String^

The namespace URI of the element.

Return Value

Type: System.Xml::XmlElement^

The new XmlElement.

The following C# code

XmlElement elem;
elem=doc.CreateElement("xy:item", "urn:abc");

results in an element that is equivalent to the following XML text.

<xy:item
       xmlns:xy="urn:abc"/>

Although this method creates the new object in the context of the document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods.

According to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 recommendation (www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210), Element nodes are allowed within Document and Element nodes, and in EntityReference nodes when the EntityReference node is not a child of an Attribute node.
