how to write XDR

[PA]

My dream XML will look like as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bk:bookList xmlns:bk="urn:B ookSampleSchema .xdr">
<book>
<title>Doe's Book</title>
<author>J Doe</author>
<year>2002</year>
</book>
<book>
<title>Sam's Book</title>
<author>Sam</author>
<year>2003</year>
</book>
</bk:bookList>

and my XDR schema is:

<Schema name="test_sche ma"
xmlns="urn:sche mas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:s chemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">

<ElementType name="title" content="textOn ly" model="closed"/>
<ElementType name="author" content="textOn ly" model="closed"/>
<ElementType name="year" content="textOn ly" model="closed"/>

<ElementType name="book" content="eltOnl y" model="closed">
<element type="title" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<element type="author" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<element type="year" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</ElementType>

<ElementType name="bookList" content="eltOnl y" model="closed">
<element type="book" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="*"/>
</ElementType>
</Schema>

I am using XMLValidatingRe ader to validate above xml. It fails if I
don't mention bk before book, title etc. elements.

Can anyone tell me what is the valid XDR for above XML?

Thanks in advance.

why are you using XDR? XDR was Microsoft's implementation of an early
working draft of the XML Schema specification. In .NET, XDR is supported
primarily for backward compatibility. In general you should be using XML
Schema, which is now final.

Using the xsd.exe utility included in the .NET SDK, you can infer a schema
from a document.
The schema I get from your document is:

<xs:schema id="bookList" targetNamespace ="urn:BookSampl eSchema.xdr"
xmlns:mstns="ur n:BookSampleSch ema.xdr" xmlns="urn:Book SampleSchema.xd r"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:msdata="u rn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata"
attributeFormDe fault="qualifie d" elementFormDefa ult="qualified" >
<xs:element name="bookList" msdata:IsDataSe t="true" msdata:Prefix=" bk">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbo unded">
<xs:element name="book" form="unqualifi ed">
<xs:complexType >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="title" form="unqualifi ed" type="xs:string "
minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="author" form="unqualifi ed" type="xs:string "
minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="year" form="unqualifi ed" type="xs:string "
minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

OK. I am now using XSD. Here is my new xml file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bk:bookList xmlns:bk="urn:B ookSample.xsd">
<book>
<title>Doe's Book</title>
<author>J Doe</author>

</book>
<book>
<title>Sam's Book</title>
<author>Sam</author>
<year>2003</year>
</book>
</bk:bookList>

I used XSD.exe to create XSD file. This is what I got

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="bookList" targetNamespace ="urn:BookSampl e.xsd"
xmlns:mstns="ur n:BookSample.xs d" xmlns="urn:Book Sample.xsd"

type="xs:string " minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

My .NET code looks like as follows:

public function XMLValidattor() as Boolean
Dim myXMLDoc As New XmlDocument()
Dim myXMLNode As XmlElement
Dim myXMLReader As XmlReader
Dim sXMLData As String

myXMLDoc.Load(S erver.MapPath(" BookSample.xml" ))

' validate xml first
Dim TR As New XmlTextReader(N ew StringReader(my XMLDoc.OuterXml ))
Dim VR As XmlValidatingRe ader = New XmlValidatingRe ader(TR)

VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Root.x dr", Server.MapPath( "BookSample.xsd "))
VR.ValidationTy pe = ValidationType. Schema
sErrMsg = ""
AddHandler VR.ValidationEv entHandler, AddressOf
ValidationCallB ack
While VR.Read
End While
VR.Close()
TR.Close()
If sErrMsg <> "" Then
Return False
Else
Return True
End If

Public Sub ValidationCallB ack(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As
ValidationEvent Args)
sErrMsg = args.Message
End Sub

When I run this I get following error:

The targetNamespace you have still refers to the XDR schema's namespace.

Change this line:
VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Root.x dr", Server.MapPath( "BookSample.xsd "))

to this line:
VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:BookSample .xsd", Server.MapPath( "BookSample.xsd "))

Yes

and just to be quite clear

the urn:BookSample. xsd in the VR.Schemas.Add( ) line, must match the
xmlns:bk="urn:B ookSample.xsd" line in the xml file.

The "urn:BookSample .xsd" is a XML Namespace, and it could be ANYTHING, even
something like
I.love.fried.gr een.tomatoes

....as long as it is consistent in the xml doc and in the VR.Schemas.Add( )
call. What you are doing in the Schemas.Add() call is associating that
namespace with a particular XSD document (BookSample.xsd , in your case).

So in fact you could use "urn:Root.x dr" as the namespace, but you would have
to use it both in the VR.Schemas.Add( ) call as well as in the xml document
itself eg

<bk:bookList xmlns:bk="urn:R oot.xdr">

The presence of the letters "xdr" in the namespace does not mean you are
actually using XDR as your schema. So using "urn:Root.x dr" as your
namespace would be a source of potential confusion if you are using XSD.
In fact the namespace is just a string, and is never evaluated. There is no
magic anywhere in any compliant XML parser that looks at a namespace like
"urn:Root.x dr" and interprets it, decides that it might be a filename and
then tries to find a file by that name. The namespace is treated only as a
string. It could just as easily be a UUID or (as above)
"I.love.fried.g reen.tomatoes".

For more on XML Namespaces please see

Thank you very much for your replies. I had found out that bug soon
after posting my message. Thank you for explaining what xmlns actually
means.

Another problem.

I have now modified my XML as follows:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<A:Address xmlns:A="urn:Te st.xsd" xmlns:B="urn:Te st_app1.xsd">
<Name>My Name</Name>
<Street>My Street</Street>
<Country>My Country</Country>
<B:PostCode>M y Post Code</B:PostCode>
</A:Address>

Just added additional xmlns:B for PostCode and reran xsd to create
XSDs.

Below are 2 xsds created using xsd.exe

Test.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xs:import namespace="urn: Test.xsd" schemaLocation= "Test.xsd" />

</xs:schema>

I have also modified my code to add both schemas in schema cache:

VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Test.x sd", Server.MapPath( "Test.xsd") )
VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Test_app1. xsd", Server.MapPath( "Test_app1.xsd" ))

When I run my code, I get following error:

</xs:schema>

I have also modified my code to add both schemas in schema cache:

VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Test.x sd", Server.MapPath( "Test.xsd") )
VR.Schemas.Add( "urn:Test_app1. xsd", Server.MapPath( "Test_app1.xsd" ))

When I run my code, I get following error:
System.Xml.Sche ma.XmlSchemaExc eption: The global element
'urn:Test_app1. xsd:PostCode' has already been declared. An error
occurred at file:///c:/inetpub/wwwroot/CMService/Test_app1.xsd, (4,

What's wrong now?

Thanks in advance.
