Parameters

name
String

The local name of the namespace node.

Returns

A String that contains the value of the namespace node; Empty if a matching namespace node is not found, or if the XPathNavigator is not positioned on an element node.

Remarks

Namespaces xml and xmlns always return a value. If String.Empty is specified as the name parameter, the GetNamespace method returns the default xmlns namespace.

For a definition of namespace nodes, see section 5.4 of the W3C XML Path Language (XPath) recommendation.

This method does not affect the state of the XPathNavigator.
