.net - creating xml file with namespaces -

i'm trying create xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <order xmlns="urn:schemas-basda-org:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xsi:schemalocation="urn:schemas-basdaorg:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01order-v3.xsd">

i have next code:

dim xsi xnamespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" dim schemalocation xnamespace = "urn:schemas-basdaorg:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01order-v3.xsd" dim order xnamespace = "urn:schemas-basda-org:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01" dim root new xelement("root", new xattribute("order", order.namespacename), _ new xattribute(xnamespace.xmlns + "xsi", xsi.namespacename), _ new xattribute(xsi.namespacename + "schemalocation", schemalocation.namespacename), _ new xelement("child", _ new xelement("differentchild", "other content")), _ new xelement("child2", "c2 content"), _ new xelement("child3", "c3 content"))

however when run code next error:

xmlexception unhanded ':' character, hexadecimal value 0x3a, cannot included in name.

edit

ok got namespaces work next code:

dim xsi xnamespace = "http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" dim schemalocation xnamespace = "urn:schemas-basdaorg:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01order-v3.xsd" dim order xnamespace = "urn:schemas-basda-org:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01" dim root new xelement(order + "order", _ new xattribute(xnamespace.xmlns + "xsi", xsi.namespacename), new xattribute(xnamespace.xmlns + "schemalocation", schemalocation), new xelement("orderhead", _ new xelement("schema", new xelement("version", "3.05")), new xelement("parameters", new xelement("language", "en-gb"), new xelement("decimalseparator", "."), new xelement("precision", "20.3")), _ new xelement("ordertype", "purchase order", new xattribute("code", "puo"))), _

but in xml have:

<orderhead xmlns=""> <schema> <version>3.05</version> </schema> <parameters>

is there way of getting rid of blank xmlns="" within orderhead tag?

what this:

dim order xnamespace = "urn:schemas-basda-org:2000:purchaseorder:xdr:3.01" dim root new xelement( order + "order", new xelement(order + "child", _ new xelement(order + "differentchild", "other content")), _ new xelement(order + "child2", "c2 content"), _ new xelement(order + "child3", "c3 content"))

sorry, don't have time test right now.
