How to add namespace prefix with xml node name like <h: table>

Hi, 

Hope you all are doing well. 

I'm trying to build following xml in AL

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone=""?>

<Invoice
    xmlns:cac="is:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
    xmlns:ext="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2"
    xmlns="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2">
    <ext:UBLExtensions>
        <ext:UBLExtension>urn:oas
            <ext:ExtensionURI>urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:dsig:enveloped:xades</ext:ExtensionURI>
        </ext:UBLExtension>
    </ext:UBLExtensions>
</Invoice>
I wrote following piece of code to get the xml given above.

local procedure BuildXml(): Text
    var
        XmlDoc: XmlDocument;
        XmlDec: XmlDeclaration;
        InvoiceElement: XmlElement;
        UBLExtensionsElement: XmlElement;
        UBLExtensionElement: XmlElement;
        ExtensionURIElement: XmlElement;
        NameSpaceUrl: Text;
        XmlIntoText: Text;
    begin
        XmlDoc := XmlDocument.Create();
        XmlDec := XmlDeclaration.Create('1.0', 'UTF-8', '');
        XmlDoc.SetDeclaration(XmlDec);
        NameSpaceUrl := 'urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2';
        InvoiceElement := XmlElement.Create('Invoice', NameSpaceUrl)
        InvoiceElement.Add(XmlAttribute.CreateNamespaceDeclaration('cac', 'is:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2'));
        InvoiceElement.Add(XmlAttribute.CreateNamespaceDeclaration('cbc', 'urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2'));
        InvoiceElement.Add(XmlAttribute.CreateNamespaceDeclaration('ext', 'urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2'));

        UBLExtensionsElement := XmlElement.Create('UBLExtensions', NameSpaceUrl)
        UBLExtensionElement := XmlElement.Create('UBLExtension', NameSpaceUrl, 'urn:oas');
        ExtensionURIElement := XmlElement.Create('ExtensionURI', NameSpaceUrl);
        ExtensionURIElement.Add(XmlText.Create('urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:dsig:enveloped:xades'));

        UBLExtensionElement.Add(ExtensionURIElement);
        UBLExtensionsElement.Add(UBLExtensionElement);
        InvoiceElement.Add(UBLExtensionsElement);

        XmlDoc.Add(InvoiceElement);
        XmlDoc.WriteTo(XmlIntoText);
        exit(XmlIntoText);
    end
By running the code given above, I'm getting the following xml output.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone=""?>
<Invoice
    xmlns:cac="is:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonAggregateComponents-2"
    xmlns:cbc="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonBasicComponents-2"
    xmlns:ext="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:CommonExtensionComponents-2"
    xmlns="urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:schema:xsd:Invoice-2">
    <UBLExtensions>
        <UBLExtension>urn:oas
            <ExtensionURI>urn:oasis:names:specification:ubl:dsig:enveloped:xades</ExtensionURI>
        </UBLExtension>
    </UBLExtensions>
</Invoice>
As we can see, the prefix 'ext' is missing with each child node. Can anyone please tell me how can I add the ext prefix with an XmlNode's or XmlElement's Name?
Answers will be highly appreciated.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    www.dynamicsuser.net/.../14

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.
