Welcome to TheScripts TSDN....

Please give more details about what you want to implement.
Regularly the XSD file is used to define the type and behavior of the XML elements and attributes, but the element/attribute values come from user input.

Thanks,
Dorin.

It is possible that using a DataSet to generate an XML file based on a DTD schema.
However I'm not sure how to do that.

For now, I will make a link to this thread in the .Net forum too.

Dorin.

[blackjack2150]

The DataSet class has these methods:
ReadXmlSchema()
WriteXml()

Have you tried them?

[Hiren Mistry]

yeah i tried that....... but xmlschema will not read .dtd file :-(

so i m bit confused with this situation

Here's an open-source tool which they say is able to convert dtd to xsd:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/U...B-A08911356AD7
You can call it from your program in command-line style.
After you have the xsd you can use the methods of the DataSet class.

I hope this helps.

I gone throgh this.... but i m not getting idea.....

i have used %att as subset paramenter in Xml2Sxd()

it gives an exception as follow..........

e = {"Reference to undefined parameter entity ''\nReferenced on line 1, position 3 of internal entity ''"}

there is function
public static Dtd Parse(Uri baseUri, TextWriter errorLog, string name, string pubid, string url, string subset, string proxy, XmlNameTable nt, bool sgml, bool preserveGroups);

Now i need to know what would b the value in subset

Just trying that.....

[Hiren Mistry]

So far i dont get any sucess in this :(

Experts pls help me.........
i cant read .dtd file even..........

I need to create DTD parser now...... for that i need to read DTD

please help me experts.......
