ArgumentNullExceptionArgumentNullExceptionArgumentNullExceptionprefix is namespaceUrinamespaceUrinamespaceUri.
ArgumentExceptionArgumentExceptionArgumentException prefix is not a valid xs:NCName (other than the empty string) or is "xml" or "xmlns", or namespaceUri is not a valid xs:anyURI or is the empty string (when prefix is not the empty string) or is "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".

Remarks

If prefix is not the empty string then calling this method is equivalent to the following XQuery declaration:

 
            declare namespace    = "  ";
 

If prefix is the empty string, then calling this method is equivalent to the following XQuery declaration:

 
            declare default element namespace "  ";
 

These namespace declarations may be overridden by any namespace declarations made in the body of an XQuery program, but take precedence over those specified in NamespacesNamespacesNamespaces.
