Property Prefix

Namespace

Assembly

SharpVectors.Core.dll

Prefix

Gets or sets the namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified.

string Prefix { get; set; }

Property Value

string

The namespace prefix of this node. For example, Prefix is inkscape for the element < inkscape:label >. If there is no prefix, this property returns String.Empty.

Remarks

Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the Name attribute, which holds the qualified name.

Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the NamespaceURI and LocalName do not change.

For nodes of any type other than Element and Attribute and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as CreateElement(string) from the IDocument interface, this is always null.
