Question

We are starting to use nhibernate and have setup a Session Manager to create a new SessionFactory. I need to modify some information the 1st time the app starts.

I open the config file (not app.config) using an XDocument.

<settings>   <hibernate-configuration xmlns='urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2'>     <reflection-optimizer use='false'/>     <session-factory>        <property name='x'>SomeValue</property>     </session-factory>   </hibernate-configuration> </settings>  XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(<file>); var x = xdoc.Root.Element('hibernate-configuration'); 

x is null unless i remove the xmlns. What am I missing?

Answer 1

It looks like you’re calling the element by it’s local name from the null namespace rather than the new namespace you added here:

<hibernate-configuration xmlns='urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2'> 

try this:

xdoc.Root.Element(XName.Get('hibernate-configuration', 'urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2'))
