Empty namespace using Linq Xml
- by porum
I'm trying to create a sitemap using Linq to Xml, but am getting an empty namespace attribute, which I would like to get rid of. e.g.
XNamespace ns = "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";
XDocument xdoc = new XDocument(new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "true"),
new XElement(ns + "urlset",
new XElement("url",
new XElement("loc", "http://www.example.com/page"),
new XElement("lastmod", "2008-09-14"))));
The result is ...
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url xmlns="">
<loc>http://www.example.com/page</loc>
<lastmod>2008-09-14</lastmod>
</url>
</urlset>
I would rather not have the xmlns="" on the url element. I can strip it out using Replace on the final xdoc.ToString(), but is there a more correct way?
