How to create XML attribute name with special character:

Question

Hi,

 

i am using a XMLDocument to generate a XML file and some elements have an attribute name containing the caracter ":".

 

The code is:

 

elem = xmldoc.CreateElement("Livraria");

elem.SetAttribute("Nome:XPTO", "TESTESARA");

elem.SetAttribute("Local", "Braga");

xmldoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(elem);

 

In the XML file generated the attribute name is only XPTO and i wanted it to be Nome:XPTO.

 

Is this possible or is it a limitation of the framework?

 

Thanks in advance.
