Removing XML namespace from WebApi

I'm working with a WebApi and XML as result.

I just keep receiving a weird namespace in my result, for exemple:

<QueryId>FE04A4E6-A584-47BF-9DA1-7360DFB08A8D</QueryId>
<ExecutionError>true</ExecutionError>
<OperationResult xmlns:d2p1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/MyTypes" i:nil="true"/>
<ErrorMessage>INVALID ACCOUNT</ErrorMessage>

I read some solutions and included this at my WebApiConfig.cs:

config.Formatters.XmlFormatter.UseXmlSerializer = true;

But using this parameter, my return was the same without OperationResult tag (the only one that was not filled out):

<QueryId>FE04A4E6-A584-47BF-9DA1-7360DFB08A8D</QueryId>
<ExecutionError>true</ExecutionError>
<ErrorMessage>INVALID ACCOUNT</ErrorMessage>

I was trying to use my result object like this:

[DataContract(Namespace = "")]
public class CustomRecordResult
{
    [DataMember]
    public string             QueryId         { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public bool               ExecutionError  { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public string             ErrorMessage    { get; set; }
    [DataMember]
    public CustomSourceRecord OperationResult { get; set; }
}

But it´s not working. My result object is empty in this case

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

Use the EmitDefaultValue option to control whether that member will be serialized when it is null.

[DataMember(EmitDefaultValue = false)]
public CustomSourceRecord OperationResult { get; set; }
