I have an xml document instance in C# which loads an xml schema.

I would like to load the restrictions for a complex type in the schema so
that the user will choose one, from a drop down list for example.

Any ideas?

A stripped down schema segment is shown below:

<xs:complexType name="condition">
...
<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
...
<xs:element name="condition">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="value"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="operator" use="required">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="Contain"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Does not contain"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Is in"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Is not in"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Equal"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Not equal"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Greater"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Smaller"/>
</xs:restriction>

You xan load the schema with System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema.Read. You can then
process the schema any way you like.
