Webservice response using namespace prefix

Hi,

I'm developing a webservice right now. This webservice sends the following response;

What I want the response to be is:
 
<ns1:SupplyResponse xmlns="http://dummy.com" xmlns:ns1="urn:fec:messages:data:final:AStandardMessage:1_0" xmlns:ns2="urn:un:unece:uncefact:data:draft:ReusableAggregateBusinessInformationEntity:2">
  <ns1:Body>
    <ns1:Supply>
      <ns1:SellerParty>
        <ns2:PrimaryID>12312312321</ns2:PrimaryID>
      </ns1:SellerParty>
      <ns1:SupplyLine>
        <ns1:LineDetails>
          <ns1:ID>ANID01</ns1:ID>
          <ns1:Status>true</ns1:Status>
          <ns1:LineDateTime>2008-04-17T08:58:11</ns1:LineDateTime>
          <ns1:Characteristics>

            <ns2:ClassCode>L11</ns2:ClassCode>

            <ns2:ValueCode>010</ns2:ValueCode>

          </ns1:Characteristics>


        </ns1:LineDetails>
      </ns1:SupplyLine>
    </ns1:Supply>
</ns1:Body>
</ns1:SupplyResponse>
 
The main reason is messagesize; the example above is only a small part of the message my webservice is going to send. It can have up to thousands of SupplyLines. With every SupplyLine having an own namespace the messagesize will grow big time.
 I've been searching this forum, MSDN and Google for a solution but nothing seems to solve my problem so far. Can you help me?
 

Kind regards,

Re: Webservice response using namespace prefix

After spending hours of research I found the solution for my problem. I wanted to share this solution with the community in this post.

To use namespace prefixes you add the following code in the SupplyResponse class;

[XmlNamespaceDeclarations]
public XmlSerializerNamespaces xmlns
{
get
{
    XmlSerializerNamespaces xsn = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
    xsn.Add("ns1", "urn:fec:messages:data:final:AStandardMessage:0_1");
    xsn.Add("ns2", "urn:un:unece:uncefact:data:draft:ReusableAggregateBusinessInformationEntity:2");

    return xsn;
}
set { /* needed for xml serialization */ }
}

Et voila; the message will be formatted with prefixes.

Kind Regards,
