// 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>

Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
xml.Tag = "soapenv:Envelope"
Dim success As Boolean
success = xml.AddAttribute("xmlns:soapenv","http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")
success = 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.
Dim xmlBody As Chilkat.Xml
xmlBody = xml.FindChild("*:Body")
If (xml.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog("Body child not found.")
    Return
End If

// Get the full tag w/ namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv:Body"
System.DebugLog(xmlBody.Tag)

// Get the namespace prefix:
// Output is "soapenv"
System.DebugLog(xmlBody.TagNsPrefix)

// Get the unprefixed tag:
// Output is "Body"
System.DebugLog(xmlBody.TagUnprefixed)

// Check to see if the unprefixed tag equals "Body"
Dim isBodyTag As Boolean
isBodyTag = xmlBody.TagUnpEquals("Body")
System.DebugLog("isBodyTag = " + Str(isBodyTag))

// Check to see if the namespace prefix equals "soapenv";
Dim isSoapenv As Boolean
isSoapenv = xmlBody.TagNsEquals("soapenv")
System.DebugLog("isSoapenv = " + Str(isSoapenv))

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

// Change the unprefixed part of the tag.
xmlBody.TagUnprefixed = "Bodie"
// The tag has changed from "se:Body" to "se:Bodie"
