MSXML Sets the Namespace Attribute to an Empty Value for Child Nodes

Hi,

I have a piece of code that produces this xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="nameSpace"><sub xmlns=""/></root>

where I would like it to produce this xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="nameSpace"><sub/></root>

i.e. the sub element should not have an empty value for the namespace
attribute.

The code follows below. I'm using Visual Studio 7.1.3088 on Windows XP.
Anyone have a solution?


#import <msxml3.dll> named_guids
#include <msxml.h>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
CoInitialize(NULL);

MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr m_xmldoc;
m_xmldoc.CreateInstance(MSXML2::CLSID_DOMDocument);

MSXML2::IXMLDOMProcessingInstructionPtr pi;
pi = m_xmldoc->createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0'");
if( pi!=NULL )
{
m_xmldoc->appendChild(pi);
pi.Release();
}

MSXML2::IXMLDOMElementPtr pe;
pe = m_xmldoc->createNode("element", "root", "nameSpace");
m_xmldoc->appendChild(pe);
pe.Release();

MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr proot(m_xmldoc->GetdocumentElement());
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr
newNode(m_xmldoc->createNode(_variant_t((short)MSXML2::NODE_ELEMENT),
"sub", ""));
proot->appendChild(newNode);

newNode.Release();
proot.Release();

std::cout << m_xmldoc->Getxml() << std::endl;

m_xmldoc.Release();

CoUninitialize();

return 0;
}

Thanks in advance!
