XNamespace.GetName(String) Method

public:
 System::Xml::Linq::XName ^ GetName(System::String ^ localName);

public System.Xml.Linq.XName GetName(string localName);

member this.GetName : string -> System.Xml.Linq.XName

Public Function GetName (localName As String) As XName

An XName created from this XNamespace and the specified local name.

The following example uses this property to retrieve an XName.

XNamespace aw = "http://www.adventure-works.com";
XName name = aw.GetName("Root");
Console.WriteLine("{0}", name);

Imports <xmlns:aw="http://www.adventure-works.com">

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim aw As XNamespace = GetXmlNamespace(aw)
        Dim name As XName = aw.GetName("Root")
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", name)
    End Sub
End Module

This example produces the following output:

{http://www.adventure-works.com}Root

The returned XName object is guaranteed to be atomic (that is, it is the only one in the system for a specific expanded name).
