Hi everyone,

I am working on creating XML documents through XML datatype in business central, I have almost succeeded in doing so, I have created the required document but I am facing an issue in removing namespace from child element, for example

You can see the "xmlns" is repeated on every child element, if anyone has an idea how to remove the namespace from child please do share, I have tried few available functions but not worked for me.

var
    xmldoc: XmlDocument;
    xmlDec: XmlDeclaration;
    node: XmlElement;
    node1: XmlElement;
    
    
    begin
    xmldoc := XmlDocument.Create();
    xmlDec := xmlDeclaration.Create('1.0', 'ISO-81', 'no');
    xmlDoc.SetDeclaration(xmlDec);
    node := XmlElement.Create('Header', 'http://www.somethinh.com');
    node.Add(XmlAttribute.CreateNamespaceDeclaration('xsi', namespace1));
    
    //Header
    node1 := XmlElement.Create('Header');
    node.add(node1);
    //line
    node1 := XmlElement.Create('Header');
    node.add(node1);
    
    xmldoc.Add(node);
    end;

Here is the code for creating the document.

You have to define the namespace in a text variable and add that to every node you add to the xml document.

var

Uri: Text;

begin

Uri := 'your namespance';

node:= xmlelement.create('nodname',uri,nodevalue);

end;

Your node value being what you want the value of your node to be.

I hope this helps.

Hi Abdullah,

If the parent nodes namespace is the same as the child namespace, then child node's namespace wont be displayed!

Thank you Bilal Haider for your reply, I have tried NamespaceManager, but I haven't found a solution, maybe due to no prefix or URI value
