Web.config with multiple schemas

[Sami Marzouki]

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is:

- To write a Web.config with custom sections. (Done)
- To write a xsd schema for this custom sections.(Done)
- Tell the Web.config to take the two schemas.

When i specify the two schemas in the schemas property of the
web.config, it seems that only one is token.

For now, what i found is to add a line in the DotnetConfig.xsd
<xs:include schemaLocation="MyCustomSchema.xsd" />

Aren't they anyway to not modify the DotnetConfig.xsd, but instead,
to modify the customschema??

Greetz,
Sami

Hi Sami,

You need to declare a namespace in your "MyCustomSchema.xsd". The XML
Editor does not support having two schemas with the same namespace listed in
the schemas property - in your case you have two schemas with no
targetNamespace.

Hi Stan,
Thx for your answer:

So if i did wel understand you:
so must look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
targetNamespace="http://berco.com/webservices/WebConfig"
xmlns="http://berco.com/webservices/WebConfig">
I have another question:

in my Web.config , i have put my custom sections into configuration
section like this:

Web.Config
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

<section name="CDAF.DATABASE" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler,C DAF.Configuration"/>
<section name="CDAF.EVENTLOG" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler,C DAF.Configuration"/>
<section name="CDAF.USERINTERFACE" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler, CDAF.Configuration"/>
<section name="CDAF.HELP" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler, CDAF.Configuration"/>
<section name="CDAF.HOTKEY" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler, CDAF.Configuration"/>
<section name="CDAF.REMOTEOBJECT" type="CDAF.Configuration.clsConfigurationHandler, CDAF.Configuration"/>
</configSections>
<CDAF.COMMON
SingleElement.ACO.WebEnabled="False"
EventLogs.ACO.WebEnabled="True"
Application.Database.Cache.ACO.WebEnabled="True"
UserInterface.ACO.WebEnabled="True"
Help.ACO.WebEnabled="False"
HotKey.ACO.WebEnabled="True"
RemoteObject.ACO.WebEnabled="True"
/>
But, the intellisense won't give my custom sections in configuration
section, i mean, that i must be out <configuration> section to see my
sections in intellisense.

Hi Sami,

Once you've added a target namespace to your schema, you'll also need to
declare it in the instance document:

<configuration xmlns:myNS="http://berco.com/webservices/WebConfig">
</configuration>

When you do this, you'll get intellisense for your own namespace under
configuration section. This complication is related to the fact that
configuration element has xs:any as a child. This will be changed in the
next release so that you don't have to declare the namespace in your XML,
but for now you have to do it.
