to add empty xmlns to nodes

i have an xml

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    http://abc.xyx/">

        t
        t


        t
        t



i want to add empty xmlns to serviceRequestContext and reinstateAccountInput node

Resultant xml should look like below

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
< Body>
    http://abc.xyx/">
      < serviceRequestContext xmlns="">
        < a>t
        t
      < /serviceRequestContext>
      < reinstateAccountInput xmlns="">
        < a>t
        < b>t
      < /reinstateAccountInput>
    < /reinstateAccountRequest>
< /Body>
< /Envelope>

Is there any way to do this?

Try this LINQ to XML code:

using System;

using System.Xml.Linq;

class Program

{

static void Main()

{

XElement envelope = XElement.Load("khalid.xml");

XNamespace ns = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";

XNamespace ns2 = "http://abc.xyx/";

XElement src = envelope.Element(ns + "Body").Element(ns2 + "reinstateAccountRequest").Element(ns2 + "serviceRequestContext");

src.Name = "serviceRequestContext"; // indirectly adds attribute xmlns = ""

// also need to change children to new default namespace

foreach(XElement child in src.Elements()) child.Name = child.Name.LocalName;

XElement rai = envelope.Element(ns + "Body").Element(ns2 + "reinstateAccountRequest").Element(ns2 + "reinstateAccountInput");

rai.Name = "serviceRequestContext"; // indirectly adds attribute xmlns = ""

// also need to change children to new default namespace

foreach(XElement child in rai.Elements()) child.Name = child.Name.LocalName;

envelope.Save("khalid2.xml");

}
