I'm trying to update an existing XML file, but always when I update it adding new tags the xmlns="" attribute mysteriously appears in all tags and I didn't find a way to remove it.
private static void EditarXML(string path, List<SiteUrl> listaUrls, bool indice, string loc)
{
XmlDocument documentoXML = new XmlDocument();
documentoXML.Load(path);
XmlNode sitemap = documentoXML.CreateElement("sitemap");
XmlNode xloc = documentoXML.CreateElement("loc");
xloc.InnerText = loc;
sitemap.AppendChild(xloc);
XmlNode lastmod = documentoXML.CreateElement("lastmod");
lastmod.InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
sitemap.AppendChild(lastmod);
documentoXML.DocumentElement.AppendChild(sitemap);
}
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
This will happen with the parent node you are appending to has a namespace, but you don't specify it in the CreateElement()
call.
To handle this, you can get the namespace from the DocumentElement
, like this (my sample just creates the document in memory, but the principle is the same), and pass it to CreateElement()
.
if (x.DocumentElement != null) {
var xmlns = (x.DocumentElement.NamespaceURI);
var sitemap = x.CreateElement("sitemap", xmlns);
var xloc = x.CreateElement("loc", xmlns);
xloc.InnerText = "Hello";
sitemap.AppendChild(xloc);
var lastmod = x.CreateElement("lastmod", xmlns);
lastmod.InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
sitemap.AppendChild(lastmod);
x.DocumentElement.AppendChild(sitemap);
}
Console.WriteLine(x.InnerXml);
Output
<test xmlns="jdphenix"><sitemap><loc>Hello</loc><lastmod>4/20/2015</lastmod></sitemap></test>
Note that if I did not pass the parent namespace to each CreateElement()
call, the children of that call would have the blank xmlns
.
// incorrect - appends xmlns=""
if (x.DocumentElement != null) {
var sitemap = x.CreateElement("sitemap");
var xloc = x.CreateElement("loc");
xloc.InnerText = "Hello";
sitemap.AppendChild(xloc);
var lastmod = x.CreateElement("lastmod");
lastmod.InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
sitemap.AppendChild(lastmod);
x.DocumentElement.AppendChild(sitemap);
}
Console.WriteLine(x.InnerXml);
Output
<test xmlns="jdphenix"><sitemap xmlns=""><loc>Hello</loc><lastmod>4/20/2015</lastmod></sitemap></test>
