xml serialization class is not working with colon in element tag
Hello experts, I am using the xml serialization class to create a serialized xml file, within the xml i have tags that need to contain a colon. When the xml is created the colon is replaced with _x003A_
<pre_x003A_salesorder>
<pre:salesorder>
Why is this happening and how do i fix it?

In XML, the construct xxx: indicates an alias to a namespace. There should be a matching namespace declaration in your XML which defines the namespace which xxx represents. Can you post the code and a sanitized example of your XML?
Here is a simplified version of the xml that gets generated
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<pre_x003A_SalesOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<DataArea>
<Received>
<Status>SUCCESS</Status>
</Received>
<Order>
<Headinfo>
<Note>OrderDate: 3/8/2011</Note>
</Headinfo>
</Order>
</DataArea>
</pre_x003A_SalesOrder>
I cant post the xml code because it contains sensitive information but should i be looking for attribute tags like this?
System.Xml.Serialization.X
System.Xml.Serialization.X
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<pre_x003A_SalesOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Well what the generate xml should look like is this
<pre:SalesOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<DataArea>
<Received>
<Status>SUCCESS</Status>
</Received>
<Order>
<Headinfo>
<Note>OrderDate: 3/8/2011</Note>
</Headinfo>
</Order>
</DataArea>
</pre:SalesOrder>
<pre:SalesOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<DataArea>
<Received>
<Status>SUCCESS</Status>
</Received>
<Order>
<Headinfo>
<Note>OrderDate: 3/8/2011</Note>
</Headinfo>
</Order>
</DataArea>
</pre:SalesOrder>
Ok, when i go through and serialize the xml why does it put this tag on
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
instead of encoding it in utf-8 ?

Hey guys i found the problem, this site provided me with the answer
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3862063/serializing-an-object-as-utf-8-xml-in-net
The default encoding must be utf-16, so switching it to uft-8 before serializing seems to have fixed the issue.

Ok, i still cant get this working, i am using the xsd.exe tool to create the xml serialization class based off the schema they are sending me. Can someone point me to a tutorial that better explains what i should be doing.
K, could someone explain what this code should be doing?
<System.CodeDom.Compiler.G
System.SerializableAttribu
System.Diagnostics.Debugge
System.ComponentModel.Desi
System.Xml.Serialization.X
System.Xml.Serialization.X
Partial Public Class UpdateOrderType
end Class
I left out all the variables, this code gets created when i run the xsd.exe tool on their provided shema? When i run this code the it creates this opening tag
<UpdateOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="<UpdateOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://mycom.com/updatemachine">
The above tag is missing the "pre:" I am being told the above tag should look like this
<pre:UpdateOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="<UpdateOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:pre="http://mycom.com/updatemachine">
