 virtual System::String ^ LookupNamespace(System::String ^ prefix);
public virtual string LookupNamespace (string prefix);
public virtual string? LookupNamespace (string prefix);
abstract member LookupNamespace : string -> string
override this.LookupNamespace : string -> string
Public Overridable Function LookupNamespace (prefix As String) As String

Parameters

prefix
String

The prefix whose namespace URI you want to resolve. To match the default namespace, pass String.Empty.

Returns

String

The namespace URI for prefix or null if there is no mapped namespace. The returned string is atomized.

For more information on atomized strings, see the XmlNameTable class.

Implements

LookupNamespace(String)

Examples

The following example adds prefix/namespace pairs to the XmlNamespaceManager, and then displays all the pairs in the collection.

#using <System.Xml.dll>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Xml;
public ref class Sample
{

   {
      
      // Create the XmlNamespaceManager.
      NameTable^ nt = gcnew NameTable;
      XmlNamespaceManager^ nsmgr = gcnew XmlNamespaceManager( nt );
      
      // Add prefix/namespace pairs to the XmlNamespaceManager.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "", "www.wideworldimporters.com" ); //Adds a default namespace.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "europe", "www.wideworldimporters.com/europe" );
      nsmgr->PushScope(); //Pushes a namespace scope on the stack.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "", "www.lucernepublishing.com" ); //Adds another default namespace.
      nsmgr->AddNamespace( "partners", "www.lucernepublishing.com/partners" );
      Console::WriteLine( "Show all the prefix/namespace pairs in the XmlNamespaceManager..." );
      ShowAllNamespaces( nsmgr );
   }

         {
            String^ prefix = safe_cast<String^>(myEnum->Current);
