How can I set the default namespace of an XmlDocument/XmlElement?
I've tried doing something like
rootElement.SetAttribute( "xmlns", "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/",
"http://www.some.org/theschema" );

I can create this:
    ?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
    <ConfigOpt>
        <record>

is there a way to control the order XmlSerializer serializes attributes?
With this class, value is serialized before value. Although it shouldn't
matter, I would like it the other way around, just for style.
<Property value="" label="name" />

What comes first, XML or XSD? When you start building a project that
will include XML, what would you start on first, building your XML data
file or your XSD schema file?
thanks

Hello I got this working but it is not how I really want it, basically
I have an xml file which has a root of <test> and can be filled with 3
different types of <question> elements with different attributes, all
share a base set of 4, one of the question types can have children

I am having a bit of a brainfart here at 4am in the morning.
I have
   XmlNodeList TmpServers = ServerNodes.SelectNodes("[server='" +
DataSource + "']");

If I run the following code :-
XmlReader rdr = dal.Getxxxx
rdr.MoveToContent();
string xmlstring = rdr.ReadOuterXml();

Selecting element nodes from a xmlDataDocument using the childNodes
collection or by using selectSingleNode and then reading innerXml or outerXml
leaks cpu-resources.
A trivial example showing this behaviour is included below.

Does anyone know how to get all nodes in a xml-document that start with a
certain text?
In my case I want to count all suppliers ( <id>Supplier*</id> )
<root>

I am using an XmlValidatingReader which uses an XSD for xml
validation.  The code has been performing reliably for months.
Yesterday it failed for the first time with the following exception:
Inner exception of type System.InvalidOperationException has occurred

the class looks like this:
[XmlRootAttribute(Namespace="http://www.landxml.org/schema/LandXML-1.0",IsNullable=false)]
  public __gc class LandXML {
  public:
