  The sample code snippet

  XNamespace adlcp = "http://example.com/adlcp";
              XElement resource = new XElement("resource",
                  new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "adlcp", adlcp),
                  new XAttribute(adlcp + "scormtype", "asset"));
              Console.WriteLine(resource);

  outputs

  <resource xmlns:adlcp="http://example.com/adlcp" adlcp:scormtype="asset" />

  Adjust the namespace URI "http://example.com/adlcp" to the one you need but as you haven't provided that information I hade to make a URI up. See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb387093.aspx

  Hi Martin Honnen,

                    thanks for reply...

  I want XML structure like - 

  <manifest identifier="RSSCA" version="2004" xmlns="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1"
  	xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  	xmlns:lom="http://ltsc.ieee.org/xsd/LOM" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1 imscp_v1p1.xsd http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3 adlcp_v1p3.xsd
                          http://ltsc.ieee.org/xsd/LOM lom.xsd">
     <resources>
  		<resource identifier="r1" type="webcontent" adlcp:scormType="sco" href="indexSCORM.html"></resource>
  	</resources>
  <manifest>

  My code -

  XNamespace adlcp = "http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1"; 

   XElement resElement = new XElement("resource",
                              new XAttribute("identifier", "MANIFEST01_RESOURCE" + (identifierPAGEID - 1).ToString()),
                              new XAttribute("href", "resources/" + (identifierPAGEID - 1).ToString() + ".html?questions=" + (identifierPAGEID - 1).ToString()),
                              new XAttribute(adlcp + "scormtype", "asset"),
                              new XAttribute("type", "webcontent"));

  AND My output is like this -

   

  <manifest identifier="RSSCA" version="2004" xmlns:adlcp="http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_v1p3" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:lom="http://ltsc.ieee.org/xsd/LOM">
   <resources>
      <resource identifier="MANIFEST01_RESOURCE5000" href="resources/5000.html" p6:scormtype="sco" type="webcontent" xmlns:p6="http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imscp_v1p1">
  </resource>
    </resources>
  <manifest>
  IN above, I dont know how "p6" is writing.

  Pls help...
