Nope, It's actually still not working.
I found the text below in someone's blog:
located at:
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/PermaLink.aspx?guid=297
He describes the exact same problem that I am having.
Can anyone tell me how I can avoid it with visual studio?
Many thanks
Iain

Import.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
targetNamespace="http://www.import.org"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:complexType name="rootType" >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="child1"
type="xs:string" maxOccurs="2" />
<xs:element name="child2"
type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
The Outer xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org"
xmlns:tns="http://www.example.org"
xmlns:imp="http://www.import.org">
<xs:import namespace="http://www.import.org"
schemaLocation="file:///c:/import.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="root" type="imp:rootType" />
</xs:schema>
This schema appears to be valid – in fact, the .NET
framework agrees. But when you try and run the outer
schema through xsd.exe, you get the following error:
C:\>xsd /c root.xsd
Microsoft (R) Xml Schemas/DataTypes support utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 1.1.4322.573]

Schema validation warning:
Type 'http://www.import.org:rootType' is not declared. An
error occurred at file:///C:/root.xsd, (10, 3).
Warning: Schema could not be validated. Class generation
may fail or may produce incorrect results.
Error: Error generating classes for schema 'root'.
- The datatype 'http://www.import.org:rootType' is
missing.
Update: Tomas was kind enough to point out not only that I
had originally posted the same schema TWICE, doh! But
also, more importantly, that XSD.EXE doesn't resolve
schemaLocation on imports or includes, presuambly because
the W3C Schema spec describes the schemaLocation attribute
as a hint, not a true location.
I'm back in business as I ran XSD.EXE again with all
necessary files specified on the commandline, in order to
give XSD.EXE a choice of namespaces - as opposed to hoping
it would somehow glean my intent!
