The Namespace property is used when reading and writing an XML document into a DataTable in the DataSet using the ReadXml, WriteXml, ReadXmlSchema, or WriteXmlSchema methods.
The namespace of an XML document is used to scope XML attributes and elements when read into a DataSet. For example, a DataSet contains a schema read from a document with the namespace "myCompany", and an attempt is made to read data ( with the ReadXml method ) from a document with the namespace "theirCompany". Any data that does not correspond to the existing schema will be ignored.
