```cpp
SharedPtr<XmlElement> System::Xml::XmlDocument::CreateElement(const String &name)
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| name | const String\& | The qualified name of the element. If the name contains a colon then the [XmlNode::get_Prefix](../../xmlnode/get_prefix/) value reflects the part of the name preceding the colon and the [XmlDocument::get_LocalName](../get_localname/) value reflects the part of the name after the colon. The qualified name cannot include a prefix of **xmlns**. |

### ReturnValue

The new [XmlElement](../../xmlelement/).

## XmlDocument::CreateElement(const String\&, const String\&) method

```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| qualifiedName | const String\& | The qualified name of the element. If the name contains a colon then the [XmlNode::get_Prefix](../../xmlnode/get_prefix/) value will reflect the part of the name preceding the colon and the [XmlDocument::get_LocalName](../get_localname/) value will reflect the part of the name after the colon. The qualified name cannot include a prefix of **xmlns**. |
| namespaceURI | const String\& | The namespace URI of the element. |
