I have some set of xml generated via xmlserialization of some WCF messages.Now I want to make a generic method in which I will provide an xml filename and a prefix like \[code\]mailxml12\[/code\].Then in xml file those elements that don't have any namespace prefix in their name should be replaced with \[code\]mailxml12:\[/code\]Like source file is:\[code\]<DeliveryApptCreateRequest d2p1:ApptType="Pallet" d2p1

eliveryApptCreateRequest\[/code\]while element like \[code\]d2p1:CompanyName\[/code\] should remain as it is.I have tried with following code \[code\] private void RepalceFile(string xmlfile) { XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load(xmlfile); var a = doc.CreateAttribute("xmlns:mailxml12tm"); a.Value = "http://idealliance.org/Specs/mailxml12.0a/mailxml_tm"; doc.DocumentElement.Attributes.Append(a); doc.DocumentElement.Prefix = "mailxml12tm"; foreach (XmlNode item in doc.SelectNodes("//*")) { if (item.Prefix.Length == 0) item.Prefix = "mailxml12tm"; } doc.Save(xmlfile); }\[/code\]only problem with it is that root element remain as it is while all are changed as i needed
