I'm trying to compare two Xml files using C# code. I want to ignore Xml syntax differences (i.e. prefix names). For that I am using Microsoft's XML Diff and Patch C# API. It works for some Xml's but I couldn't find a way to configure it to work with the following two Xml's:

XML A:

<root xmlns:ns="http://myNs">
  <ns:child>1</ns:child>
</root>

XML B:

<root>
  <child xmlns="http://myNs">1</child>
</root>

My questions are:

  1. Am I right that these two xml's are semantically equal (or isomorphic)?
  2. Can Microsoft's XML Diff and Patch API be configured to support it?
  3. Are there any other C# utilities to to this?
