Remove tempuri from WCF service

If any one ever want was remove all http://tempuri.org namespaces from wcf service I really recommend all to check this two posts in http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/kirillg/archive/2006/06/18/28380.aspx and http://cglessner.blogspot.com/2008/07/kill-tempuri-in-wcf-services.html. Helped me solve my problems.

One other thing I found when I was removing the http://tempuri.org namespaces.

If I want this:

<wsdl:definitions name="MyWCFService" targetNamespace="http://MyCompany/mywcfservice/">

I need to do this:

[ServiceBehavior(Namespace="http://MyCompany/mywcfservice/")]

public class MyWCFService : IMyWCFServiceContract

Or do this:

public class MyWCFService : IMyWCFServiceContract

and inside MyServiceHost do:

this.Description.Namespace = “http://MyCompany/mywcfservice/”;

don’t try this because it will not remove tempuri:

ServiceBehaviorAttribute serviceBehaviorAtribute = this.Description.Behaviors.Find<ServiceBehaviorAttribute>();

serviceBehaviorAtribute.Namespace = “http://MyCompany/mywcfservice/”;

This was my first choice until I realize my mistake.

xmlns:xsi with Linq to XML

If someone needs to add a xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" to a xml element using Linq to XML all you have to do is something like this

XNamespace xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
XDocument doc = new XDocument(
    new XElement("Root",
        new XAttribute(XNamespace.Xmlns + "xsi", xsi)));

maybe it's not very intuitive but works :)
