Schema Value Types int and Integer

[Wayne Wengert]

According to the help file in VSNET 2003 the XML Schema Type "Integer" maps
to a .NET Framework type of "System.Decimal". This does not seem logical?
The Schema Type "int" maps to "System.int32" which seems logical. Can
someone explain this?

The schema type Integer does not have a lower and upper bound defined on
it - hence the reason of being mapped to the CLR type Decimal which is the
closest match to that data type. However, schema type int and CLR type Int32
have the same bounds.

Zafar;

Thanks for that explanation. Still seems a bit strange.
