Please help, date problem with XSD file

[Rajender]

I am getting the error:
Invalid character value for cast specification
In my xml file the date is like this:
2004-09-28T00:00:00.0000000-04:00

Because of the field eventdate which is dt:datetime in my
xsd file.

******* MY XSD file
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Schema xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml:datatypes"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" >

<ElementType name="eventdate" dt:type="DateTime"/>
<ElementType name="ReferenceNO" dt:type="varchar(50)" />
<ElementType name="EventDesciption" dt:type="ntext(16)" />
<ElementType name="ModuleName" dt:type="char(20)" />
<ElementType name="ModuleID" dt:type="char(20)" />
<ElementType name="created_by" dt:type="char(20)" />

<ElementType name="ROOT" sql:is-constant="1">
<element type="Table" />
</ElementType>

<ElementType name="Table" sql:relation="Tab_ccsnetevents">
<element type="eventdate" sql:field="eventdate" />
<element type="ReferenceNO" sql:field="ReferenceNO" />
<element type="EventDesciption"
sql:field="EventDesciption" />
<element type="ModuleName" sql:field="ModuleName" />
<element type="ModuleID" sql:field="ModuleID" />
<element type="created_by" sql:field="created_by" />
</ElementType>
</Schema>

This is not an XSD file -- it is an XDR mapping schema.

If you're using this as the mapping schema for an SQL
Server 2000 Updategram, then you're probably missing
one of the type attributes on the eventdate element that
tells SQL Server 2000 you have an XML Schema ISO
8601 datetime,

<ElementType
name="eventdate"
xs:type="xs:dateTime"
sql2:type="dateTime"
dt:type="DateTime" />

and add the appropriate xmlns declarations to the
Schema element,

<Schema
xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-data"

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml:datatypes"
xmlns:sql2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-sql" >

I'd also refer you to Daniel Cazzulino's solution on SQL XML
(one difference is it employs an XML Schema document as the
mapping schema, not an XDR),
