how to add more than one namespace reference to root?

When I am building an XmlWriter I can use the following to create the root node.

xw.WriteStartElement("svg", "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg");

How can I add another namespace reference to the root node eg

Alternatively, is there xsl syntax that could do this via a transform

Thanks, Tad

xw.WriteAttributeString("xmlns","xlink", null,"h ttp://www.w3.org/1999/xlink");

Martin and Sergey,

Thank you both so much for helping me out.

You can write out the namespace declaration as an attribute as in the following example:

const string svgNS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";

const string xlinkNS = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";

const string xmlnsNS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";

xmlWriter.WriteStartElement("svg", svgNS);

xmlWriter.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "xlink", xmlnsNS, xlinkNS);

xmlWriter.WriteEndElement();
