how to ignore xml namespaces?

Question

I\'ve got test xml file that looks like this:

When I\'m t

Answer 1

A namespace is fundamental in XML (unlike namespaces which are interchangeable). If Person is in that namespace, you must tell it:

[XmlRoot(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/PaymentInformationXml.xsd")]
public class Person {...}

Answer 2

Check out XmlSerializerNamespaces.

XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
ns.Add("xsd", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
ns.Add("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");

Controlling the default namespace can be done directly on the XmlSerializer:

XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Person), "http://tempuri.org/PaymentInformationXml.xsd");

... but your question is a little unclear about where the problem comes from.

Check your Person classes [XmlType] attribute:

[XmlType(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/PaymentInformationXml.xsd")]
public class Person
{
    //...
}

The namespace for your Person type needs to be consistent with the one you use when serializing.

Answer 3

there's an article about xml here

And i also stumbled accros this piece of code: (very helpfull)

XmlDocument stripDocumentNamespace(XmlDocument oldDom)
{
// Remove all xmlns:* instances from the passed XmlDocument
// to simplify our xpath expressions.
XmlDocument newDom = new XmlDocument();
newDom.LoadXml(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(
oldDom.OuterXml, @"(xmlns:?[^=]*=[""][^""]*[""])", "",
System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.Multiline)
);
return newDom;
} 

hope this could help
