block invalid elements XSD?

Question

Hi,

I have a simple XSD:

    <xs:element name="config">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:element name="group" type="xs:string"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

On my xml file i put this:

<config>
<group></group>
<a></a> 
</config>

How block the insertion of <a> tag on my xml?

Obs: group appears on auto-complete on my C# xml editor!!!

Answer 1

You cannot "block" the insertion of the <a> unless you write a XML editor yourself which would understand and interpret the XSD schema on the fly.

What you can do is validate the XML created against the schema and refuse it, if it's not valid.

Answer 2

Sounds to me like that tag you'd like to exclude should be a child of the "config" tag, just like group. If it has a relationship with "config", and should only appear if its parent does, you need to express it.

Problem Resolved!!

Is a error on my Visual Studio Express Edition

The Visual Studio 2008 (Full Version) process XSD correctly!!

Thanks for all!!
