Here is an example of what I need to do below. I need to add the pol namespace prefix to the soap envelope

Answer 1

I have a class that was generated from the svcutil tool. This class is serialized to an xml document when. I need to find a way to add a namespace prefix to the class when the class gets serialized.

Hi Kirk,

>> I need to add the pol namespace prefix to the soap envelope

For modifying prefix when sending a request, you could implement custom Message Formatters, and IClientMessageFormatter is for client side. You could refer the link below for more information.

# WCF Extensibility – Message Formatters

Here is a similar thread, and you could try

writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "pol", null, http://schemas.phisc.org.za/draft/policy);

Hi Kirk,

I found you have posted a new thread Modifying the namespace prefix in the soap envelope when sending a request later. Are they the same issue? If they are, I would suggest you delete this thread, and keeping following the new thread. If not, it would be helpful if you could share us more information like how did you call this class.

Best Regards,

Edward
