  1. POpreventing unnecessary namespace into xml
    text
    copied!<p>Im working on a project that modifies a kml file by adding gps coordinates on a specific spot in the kml. My code, however, is adding the "gx" namespace on <strong>ALL</strong> of the elements when its saved at the end. I have researched and looked at a ton of different Visual Basic XML writing methods and I've ran out of ideas. How do I stop unnecessary namespaces to be added?!</p> <p>test.kml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"&gt; &lt;Document&gt; &lt;name&gt;test.kml&lt;/name&gt; &lt;Snippet&gt;File Created Mon Jul 9 15:50:16 2012&lt;/Snippet&gt; &lt;Style id="multiTrack_n"&gt; &lt;IconStyle&gt; &lt;Icon&gt; &lt;href&gt;http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/track.png&lt;/href&gt; &lt;/Icon&gt; &lt;/IconStyle&gt; &lt;LineStyle&gt; &lt;color&gt;99ffac59&lt;/color&gt; &lt;width&gt;6&lt;/width&gt; &lt;/LineStyle&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; &lt;Folder&gt; &lt;Placemark&gt; &lt;name&gt;test.kml&lt;/name&gt; &lt;styleUrl&gt;#multiTrack_n&lt;/styleUrl&gt; &lt;gx:Track&gt; &lt;!--GPS Tracking data Points--&gt; &lt;/gx:Track&gt; &lt;/Placemark&gt; &lt;/Folder&gt; &lt;/Document&gt; &lt;/kml&gt; </code></pre> <p>Code:</p> <pre><code>Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml Imports System.DateTime Imports &lt;xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"&gt; Imports &lt;xmlns:gx="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"&gt; ...
