Importing XML Schema

Hi,
Can some one please help me with (or point me to) a very simple but
working code sample that shows how to import XML Schema.

I have tried many samples out there on internet but nothing seems to be
working. I am trying to import a complex type/simple type element type from
an external xml schema. I am using xs:import tag with namespace and
schemalocation attributes defined and have also declared xmlns relative to
this xml schema. I VS .NET I always get the error that "Type 'xxx' is not
declared."

TIA,
-P!

Hi,

The examples from my book, Definitive XML Schema, are out at:

http://www.datypic.com/books/DefXMLSchema/Examples.html

The one that has to do with imports and includes is at:

http://www.datypic.com/books/DefXMLS...chapter04.html

That might help. If not, post a snippet of your schemas and maybe we can
tell you what's wrong.

Hi Priscilla,

Thank you very much for your response, i went through the sample code and
saw how Import was implemented.
I noticed that in those samples the xml schemas belong to same domain
(http://example.org) like
1)http://example.org/ord
2)http://example.org/pord
What I wanted to do is import some elements from XML schema that belongs to
different domain. I have attached my sample xml schema file.
I am pretty new to XML schemas , so forgive me if i am naive.
I refered to your book also, but couldn't see any example where we are
importing from different domains. I don't know whether this can be done or
not. But in my project i have the need to extend from some standard XML
Schemas.

I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Poonam

Hi,

Namespace names are just strings, so the "domain name" in them does not
matter. Importing schemas from a different domain works exactly the same
way as importing schemas in the same domain.

I don't see anything wrong with your schema. It is somewhat complex, since
the imported schema document (TypeLibrary.xsd) includes another schema
document (TypeLibrary-math.xsd), which then includes another schema document
(TypeLibrary-nn-math.xsd).

The third schema document does not have a target namespace, but it should
take on the namespace you have specified
(http://www.w3.org/2001/03/XMLSchema/TypeLibrary) because it is included in
one that does. This is commonly known as a "chameleon include".

I would guess the processor is having a hard time either with (1) the
relative references to other schema documents in the xs:include elements in
the imported schemas, or (2) not implementing the chameleon include
correctly.

Maybe someone who is more familiar with the Microsoft processor can shed
some light?

Chameleon Includes are not supported by .NET Framework 1.0 / 1.1. To get
this to work, you will have to add a targetNamespace to the schema that you
are including as a chameleon.
