[Mono-list] XmlWriter failing to write xmlns declaration

[Atsushi Eno]

Because you have wrong values for namespace prefix?

Next time, come up with runnable example like this. This verifies that xmlns
output works:

--------
using System;
using System.Xml;

public class X
{
         public static void Main ()
         {
                 string NCXNamespace = "nc";
                 string NCXNamespaceURI = "urn:foo";

                 var writer = XmlWriter.Create (Console.Out);
                 writer.WriteStartElement ("foo");
                 writer.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", NCXNamespace,
                         "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", NCXNamespaceURI);
                 writer.Close ();
         }
}
