XAttribute default namespace
f#

I'm using the Xml.Linq XElement/XAttribute functions and am trying to specify the default namespace for an element. I believe I'm following the documentation properly (

[link:msdn.microsoft.com]) but get an error complaining that the type system was looking for an XName rather than a string. The code is:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

 

let gptg : XNamespace = XNamespace.op_Implicit( "gptg:PMSA:gptg.net")

makeBaseDocumentX (docName : string) =

   let elt = new XElement(gptg + docName, 

                           new XAttribute("xmlns", "gptg:PMSA:gptg.net"))

   elt

When I use C# (with appropriate modifications), the code seems to work just fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this an error in F#?

Thanks,

Because there's yet another hidden implicit conversion ;) .

new XAttribute(XName.op_Implicit "xmlns", "gptg:PMSA:gptg.net")

PS: Have a look at the conversion operator: [link:cs.hubfs.net]

Thanks - that should have been my first guess. :-)

Arghh... :-)

My attempt to insert the code appears to have generated garbage. I'll try again without the editor help.

let gptg : XNamespace = XNamespace.op_Implicit( "gptg:PMSA:gptg.net")

let makeBaseDocument (docName : string) =

let elt = new XElement(gptg + docName,

new XAttribute("xmlns", "gptg:PMSA:gptg.net"))

elt
