[Mono-list] Bug in System.Xml.XmlElement

[Marcus B�rgel]

Hi,

 

I was just a bit playing around with Mono 0.13 it works quite well on my Linux Box.

Then I discovered that the Xml support that the Xml support lacks writing the namespaces.

I was using XmlDocument directly inserting XmlElement in diffrent namespaces but I just got a file with the plain local names.

 

After digging' in the sources of System.Xml I found the bug.

 

In mcs-0.13\class\System.XML\System.Xml\XmlElement.cs I found the following code:

  public override void WriteTo (XmlWriter w)
  {
    w.WriteStartElement(LocalName);

   foreach(XmlNode attributeNode in Attributes)
    attributeNode.WriteTo(w);

 

   WriteContentTo(w);

 

   w.WriteEndElement();
  }

Which just emits the Xml element without prefix nor namespace, the fix was quite simple:

 

  public override void WriteTo (XmlWriter w)
  {

   w.WriteStartElement(Prefix, LocalName, NamespaceURI);    // FIXED

   foreach(XmlNode attributeNode in Attributes)
    attributeNode.WriteTo(w);

 

   WriteContentTo(w);

 

   w.WriteEndElement();
  }

After recompiling System.Xml.dll xml namespaces are correctly written.

 

Thanks for the really amazing work you're all doing with mono.

 

I would be very pleased if you can add this fix the the official mono source.

 

Thanks,
