How to Add a Header to the XML Preamble i.e "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>" in xml document? [duplicate]

Question

Here I wish to add a namespace to the forst line of xml document i.e

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I am creating the xml file using c# with the help of syndicate rss feed. it should be like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" xmlns:example="www.example.com ?>

The namespace should be added to the root tag and not the identification line. — jdweng

@Ma6139735 The solution to the marked question answers this one. The different "scenario" is irrelevant. — user47589

You can use the xmlns attribute to add the namespace like

doc.DocumentElement.SetAttribute("xmlns", "www.example.com");
