I am about to go bonkers trying to figure this out -- So here goes

Currently I am building an xml document and have no problem building the
document with one namespace designation using the DOM.

Here is a snip-it of what I have

<vl:VNETList xmlns:vl="http://www.1234.com/VNET/List">
<Template>
<ID>Template_FFF4887BC8B4E98F85256EE60061576A</ID>

I can’t figure out how to add a secondary xmlns reference that will look
like this.

<vl:VNETList xmlns:vl="http://www.1234.com/VNET/List"
xmlns="http://www.5678.com/VNET/eiwm">
<Template>
<ID>Template_0A0AD3A027803E7485256DC00066D831</ID>

I am using the following code to create my root node
Dim objXmlNodeRoot As XmlNode = xdoc.CreateElement("vl", "VNETList",
"http://www.1234.com/VNET/List")

Dim objXmlNsAttr As XmlAttribute = xdoc.CreateAttribute( _
"xmlns", "", "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" )
objXmlNodeRoot.Attributes.Append( objXmlNsAttr)

Using your code snipit I get the following error

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in
system.xml.dll

Additional information: The attribute local name cannot be empty.

Ok I figured it out and your snip-it gave me a nudge in the correct direction.

Dim objXmlNsAttr As XmlAttribute = xdoc.CreateAttribute("xmlns")
objXmlNsAttr.Value = "http://www.1234.com/VNET/eiwm"

Thanks for the help =-)
