I have a root node attribute which contains a name space declaration. I'd
like to put a reference onto the front of it (ie: ns1:RootNode) where ns1 is
defined as the namespace I'm using. Is there a way to do this in C#?

Also can I include other namespaces in this declaration as well?

Matt,

I answered that question here in the group just yesterday ;):

The best way is to pass an XmlSerializerNamespaces object to the
Serialize() method, as I describe in [0].

You could also modify the generated class to force the namespace prefix
when serializing instances [1], but I am generally not a friend of
modifying generated code
