Problem with .NET Beta2 upgrade, with XSD traversal (LocalElements issue!!) :-(

[Uma Abhyankar]

Hello,

I had a program in .NET Beta1, where in I was programmatically traversing
the Xml Schema using the given code snippet.

However today with migration to Beta2, I am facing a compilation issue that
LocalElements property on XmlSchemaComplexType not found. I now dont know
how to traverse XSD programmatically!!!
- I have a 4 level heirarchy XSD with a mix and match of complex elements
containing content and attributes both!

Please do help. Our current application BREAKS and I cannot go ahead with
development which is in its important phase, to be delivered by tomorrow!!

I would like to know what way I can traverse an XSD in a generic fashion as
possible, so that I could go to 1st level, 2nd level, 3rd or 4th level with
same peice of foreach code. Some documentation would reallly help. Also why
the LocalElements is not supported, I see its only supported in Compact
framework....
===========================================
XmlReader reader = new XmlTextReader(fileName);
XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet();
XmlSchema schema = XmlSchema.Read(reader, null);
XmlSchemaObjectEnumerator itr = schema.Items.GetEnumerator();

//schema is added to schemaset
schemaSet.Add(schema);
// compile schemaset : some properties are enabled post compilation
schemaSet.Compile();

// A better way to Traverse the XSD
foreach (XmlSchemaElement parentElem in schema.Elements.Values)
{
XmlSchemaComplexType ct = parentElem.ElementSchemaType as
XmlSchemaComplexType;
if (ct != null)
{
foreach (XmlSchemaElement childElem in ct.LocalElements.Values)
{
string str = childElem.Name;
XmlSchemaComplexType ct1 = childElem.ElementSchemaType as
XmlSchemaComplexType;
Type type = null;
foreach (XmlSchemaElement gChildElem in ct1.LocalElements.Values)
{
if (gChildElem != null)
{
// Inner elements
string str1 = gChildElem.Name;
XmlSchemaComplexType ct2 = gChildElem.ElementSchemaType as
XmlSchemaComplexType;
foreach (XmlSchemaElement gGChildElem in ct2.LocalElements.Values)
{
decimal occurence = gGChildElem.MaxOccurs;
}
}//if
}//foreach
}//foreach
}//if ct !=null
}//foreach

LocalElements property was removed from .Net Framwork beta2.
You can use the following code to construct a list of total local elements
in your schema, and a list of unique local elements names.

~Zafar

private static void PrintParticles(string url) {

XmlSchema schema = XmlSchema.Read(new XmlTextReader(url, new NameTable()),
new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallback));
schema.Compile(new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallback));
ArrayList elementDeclsInContentModel = new ArrayList();
Hashtable uniqueDecls = new Hashtable();

foreach(XmlSchemaType type in schema.SchemaTypes.Values) {
XmlSchemaComplexType complexType = type as XmlSchemaComplexType;
if (complexType != null) {
elementDeclsInContentModel.Clear();
uniqueDecls.Clear();
TraverseParticle(complexType.ContentTypeParticle,
elementDeclsInContentModel, uniqueDecls);
Console.WriteLine("No of element decls: " +
elementDeclsInContentModel.Count);
Console.WriteLine("No of unique element decls: " + uniqueDecls.Count);
}
}
}

private static void TraverseParticle(XmlSchemaParticle particle, ArrayList
elementDeclsInContentModel, Hashtable uniqueDecls) {

if (particle is XmlSchemaElement) {
XmlSchemaElement elem = particle as XmlSchemaElement;
elementDeclsInContentModel.Add(elem);
if (!uniqueDecls.ContainsKey(elem.QualifiedName)) {
uniqueDecls.Add(elem.QualifiedName, elem);
}
}
else if (particle is XmlSchemaGroupBase) { //xs:all, xs:choice, xs:sequence
XmlSchemaGroupBase baseParticle = particle as XmlSchemaGroupBase;
foreach(XmlSchemaParticle subParticle in baseParticle.Items) {
TraverseParticle(subParticle, elementDeclsInContentModel, uniqueDecls);
}
}
}

You can play with the following code:

void Start()
{
XmlSchemaComplexType complexType;
foreach (XmlSchemaType type in xs.SchemaTypes.Values)
{
complexType = type as XmlSchemaComplexType;
if (complexType != null)
TraverseParticle(complexType.ContentTypeParticle);
}

foreach (XmlSchemaElement el in xs.Elements.Values)
TraverseParticle(el);
}

void TraverseParticle(complexType.ContentTypeParticle)
{
if (particle is XmlSchemaElement)
{
XmlSchemaElement elem = particle as XmlSchemaElement;

if (elem.RefName.IsEmpty)
{
XmlSchemaType type = (XmlSchemaType)elem.ElementSchemaType;
XmlSchemaComplexType complexType = type as XmlSchemaComplexType;
if (complexType != null && complexType.Name == null)
TraverseParticle(complexType.ContentTypeParticle);
}
}
else if (particle is XmlSchemaGroupBase)
{ //xs:all, xs:choice, xs:sequence
XmlSchemaGroupBase baseParticle = particle as XmlSchemaGroupBase;
foreach (XmlSchemaParticle subParticle in baseParticle.Items)
TraverseParticle(subParticle);
}
}
