Using xsi:nil in XML

6.2k views Asked by At

I am generating an XML file from a VB.NET app. The document was generating fine before I tried to add nillable elements. I am now testing putting in just one nil element as:

<blah xsi:nil="true"></blah>

Once this element is in place and I try to view the XML file in IE it is unable to display. I am receiving:

The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.


The operation completed successfully. Error processing resource

If I remove this one element it displays fine again. What am I missing here?

Do you have xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" to declare the xsi namespace set on the root element of your XML?
