[Question] how to add an explicit member with namespace specified

[ma3yta]

My Code:

var instance = new Instance();
instance.CheckExplicitMemberDomainExists = true;
instance.AddDomainNamespace("h04", "http://sbr.gov.au/dims/RprtPyType.02.00.dims");
var entity = new Entity("http://www.ato.gov.au/abn", "18641935846");
entity.AddExplicitMember("h04:ReportPartyTypeDimension", "ReportingParty");

var ctx = new Diwen.Xbrl.Context
{
   Entity = entity,
   Id = "C001"
};

instance.Contexts.Add(ctx);

try
{
  var xml = instance.ToXml();
  Console.WriteLine(xml);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
  Console.WriteLine(ex);
}

Actual Result: <xbrldi:explicitMember dimension=":ReportPartyTypeDimension">ReportingParty</xbrldi:explicitMember>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?instance-generator id="Diwen.Xbrl" version="1.0.4.0" creationdate="2020-08-31T17:47:05:26+07:00"?>

            <xbrli:segment>
                <xbrldi:explicitMember dimension=":ReportPartyTypeDimension">ReportingParty</xbrldi:explicitMember>

        </xbrli:entity>
        <xbrli:period/>
    </xbrli:context>
</xbrli:xbrl>

Expected Result:

Hi, I will take a look and get back to you.

[dgm9704]

I'm just back from vacation and my brain isn't yet in full XBRL mode so this might take some time :( Meanwhile if you already haven't done so, you could maybe take a look at the sample code in SBRInstanceTests.cs and see if that gives some ideas?

@dgm9704 resolved. thanks

var entity = new Entity("http://www.ato.gov.au/abn", "18641935846");
            instance.SetDimensionNamespace("h04", "http://sbr.gov.au/dims/RprtPyType.02.00.dims");
            var segment = new Segment(instance);
            segment.AddExplicitMember("ReportPartyTypeDimension", "h04:ReportingParty");
            entity.Segment = segment;

[dgm9704]

Yes, I think the problem is that because my code is a bit stupid, the instance reference needs to be set before adding the member, otherwise the member doesn't have access to the namespaces, and they don't get set afterwards. This is not intuitive behaviour and it isn't mentioned anywhere. I apologize for this and will try to either fix this in the future, or at least make it obvious that things need to be done in a certain order (which is always bad imho) I am glad that you got it working though, nice job!

thank you for making this repo public.
