Where is the definition of Global_NS in a BizTalk schema?

Question

I'm trying to use a distinguished property but I get an error "Cannot implicitly convert type ... to Global_NS ... "

I've googled/bing'ed but I've found only 4 references, none of which help

I can't see anywhere that this is set :-(

I've been trying to remove the tempuri namespaces from a WCF service and all seemed OK, until I tried to access a distinguished property

It sounds like you are having a namespace prefix conflict between your imported types and the property schema.

If you look at the source of your message schema check the prefix for the imports node pointing to your Property Schema (default PropertySchema.xsd) - its prefix defaults to ns0.

On the message schema Schema node check the Imports property collection if any of your imported/included/redefined types use ns0 as their namespace prefix.

You can change the namespace prefix for imported types - personally I use an abbreviation of the imported type name like cot for companytype.
