This class represents a collection of namespace prefixes and namespace URIs that are used to manage and resolve namespace information. The namespace manager is constructed using an XmlNameTable. XmlNamespaceManager is used internally by XmlReader to resolve namespace prefixes and track the current scope. XmlNamespaceManager maintains scope in a stack, which can be manipulated with PopScope() and PushScope(). Namespaces must be added explicitly to the namespace manager with AddNamespace(), even if you use an existing XmlNameTable.
