How to add xsi:schemaLocation attribute to XML element

[kaush]

Hi all,

I am trying to serialize a C# object into a XML document
using "XmlSeriali zer" class. One of the elements of the XML document
needs a "xsi:schemaLoca tion" attribute. I am not sure how to add this
to the XML element
Please help me with if you can.

Thanks,
kaush

Re: How to add xsi:schemaLocat ion attribute to XML element

The root element of the document can contain, along with all the xmlns
stuff, an attribute called
xsi:schemaLocat ion="namespaceU RI filename.xsd"

There are two tokens inside the single string. This is a hint for the
validator to know where to find a physical xsd file to go with that
namespace.

Re: How to add xsi:schemaLocat ion attribute to XML element

If I add it to the root element of the element for which I need to add
the xsi:schemaLocat ion attribute, it does not seem to be working.

Below is the partial XML doc:

<ProcessMessa ge
xmlns="http://www.starstandar ds.org/webservices/2003/12/transport">
<payload
xmlns="http://www.starstandar ds.org/webservices/2003/12/transport">
<Content id="Content0">
<rey_ServiceSta tusRequest
xmlns="http://www.starstandar ds.org/STAR"> ...this goes on .
"rey_ServiceSta tusRequest" parent is "Content"


I need to add the xsi:schemaLocat ion attribute to
"rey_ServiceSta tusRequest" element. Actually this XML document I
produce it from a C# object. I use XMLSERIALIZE class to serialize the
object into XML document. For some reason I am not able to add the
xsi:schemaLocat ion attribute. I am able to add schemaLocation attribute
without the "xsi" prefix. I am able to do this using
//[System.Xml.Seri alization.XmlAt tributeAttribut e(DataType="any URI")].
This declaration is for a particular memeber of the class.

Could you please help me out ?

The only other option I have is to construct the XML doc "element" by
"element" which I do not want to do.

Please help
