Hi.
Using VS2005, .NET 2.0.
I have an xml document that I want to go through and set the values on
attributes of elements. The elements are complex types defined in my schema
(xsd) files.
I can iterate the document and get my XmlType and XmlBaseType values just
fine. However, as soon as I call SetValue to write to an attribute, the
XmlType is always null so I can no longer test the rest of the elements in
the document.
Following are the Xsd, Xml and Program.cs to recreate the problem.
