Remove xmlns attribute with namespace prefix
10,286
Try this instead:
xml.Attribute(XNamespace.Get("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/") + "rd").Remove()

This question is a logical continuation of this one - now suppose an
XElementcontains elements in a non-default namespace:<Body xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition" xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner"> <ReportItems /> <Height /> <rd:Style /> </Body>I am trying to follow the same approach as suggested in the answer for my previous question, i.e. remove
xmlnsattribute, but it does not work when it's xmlns + prefix, like thisxmlns:xx.TL;DR version
This works:
Dim xml = <Body xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner"/> xml.Attribute("xmlns").Remove()This doesn't:
Dim xml = <Body xmlns:rd="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner"/> xml.Attribute("xmlns:rd").Remove()Getting this error:
XmlException was unhandled The ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3A, cannot be included in a name.How do I remove
xmlns:xxattribute from anXElement?
