Handling Namespaces in XML Tags

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates new features added in Chilkat v9.5.0.77 for helping with namespace prefixed tags. C#

// First create some XML using namespace prefixed tags.

// Create this XML. 
// Use this online tool to generate the code from sample XML: 
// Generate Code to Create XML

// <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
//    xmlns:scm="http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/">
//    <soapenv:Header/>
//    <soapenv:Body>
//       <scm:AccountGetCurrent>
//          <scm:token>123</scm:token>
//       </scm:AccountGetCurrent>
//    </soapenv:Body>
// </soapenv:Envelope>

Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();
xml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope";
xml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/");
xml.AddAttribute("xmlns:scm","http://www.springcm.com/atlas/webservices/v201308/scm/");
xml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Header","");
xml.UpdateChildContent("soapenv:Body|scm:AccountGetCurrent|scm:token","123");

// Go to the "Body" tag, regardless of namespace prefix.
Chilkat.Xml xmlBody = xml.FindChild("*:Body");
if (xml.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Body child not found.");
    return;
}

// Get the full tag w/ namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv:Body"
Debug.WriteLine(xmlBody.Tag);

// Get the namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv"
Debug.WriteLine(xmlBody.TagNsPrefix);

// Get the unprefixed tag:
// Output is "Body"
Debug.WriteLine(xmlBody.TagUnprefixed);

// Check to see if the unprefixed tag equals "Body"
bool isBodyTag = xmlBody.TagUnpEquals("Body");
Debug.WriteLine("isBodyTag = " + Convert.ToString(isBodyTag));

// Check to see if the namespace prefix equals "soapenv";
bool isSoapenv = xmlBody.TagNsEquals("soapenv");
Debug.WriteLine("isSoapenv = " + Convert.ToString(isSoapenv));

// Change just the namespace prefix of the tag
xmlBody.TagNsPrefix = "se";
// The tag has changed from "soapenv:Body" to "se:Body"
Debug.WriteLine(xmlBody.Tag);

// Change the unprefixed part of the tag.
xmlBody.TagUnprefixed = "Bodie";
// The tag has changed from "se:Body" to "se:Bodie"
Debug.WriteLine(xmlBody.Tag);
