Re: Namespace Issue with InnerXML

Thanks,
I know understand why I would need to transform the XML using XSLT.

I'm sure it's probably not a complex XSLT that can remove the root element
of an XML file but as I never used XMLT....
My real XML file is more complex , I'd like to create a generic XSLT which
only removes the root element.

Does someone knows a good reference to work with...

Thanks,
Antoine

Using C# I need to remove the root element of an xml document and keep
the inner XML document as is.x

<root xmlns="http://pjc.BizTalk";>
<ns0:LaunchStoreUpload xmlns:ns0="http://pjc.schemas";>
<Source>
<FTPParams>A</FTPParams>
</Source>
</ns0:LaunchStoreUpload>
</root>

Whatever I try :
root.RemoveAttribute("xmlns", "http://pjc.BizTalk";);
root.RemoveAllAttributes();
root.SetAttribute("xmlns", "");

when I use the root.InnerXML I obtain the following result

<ns0:LaunchStoreUpload xmlns:ns0="http://pjc.schemas";>
<Source xmlns="http://pjc.BizTalk";>
<FTPParams>A</FTPParams>
</Source>
</ns0:LaunchStoreUpload>

That's really not good for me, I don't want the extra
xmlns=http://pjc.BizTalk added in the <Source> node


Sorry, your approach can't work, the namespace of an node in the DOM model
is determined by its NamespaceURI property and you can't change that.
Deleting any xmlns attributes on ancestors does not help, you can't change
the namespace of a node.
You might want to look into XSLT to transform the XML. If you need help
with that then let us know.
