C# / NET CF 2.0 DataSet serialization problem

Hi, I'm creating a XML DataSet from my destktop application:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" standalone="yes"?>
<MyDataSet>
  <xsd:schema id="MyDataSet" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
    <xsd:element name="MyDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true">
      <xsd:complexType>
        <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xsd:element name="TestData" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
            <xsd:complexType>
              <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="rowid">
                  <xsd:simpleType>
                    <xsd:restriction base="xsd:decimal">
                      <xsd:totalDigits value="5"/>
                      <xsd:fractionDigits value="0"/>
                    </xsd:restriction>
                  </xsd:simpleType>
                </xsd:element>
                ...

and then, from my WinCE / NetCF 2.0 application, I'm reading the XML Data using

ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXML(sXMLFile, XmlReadMode.ReadSchema);

but when I save the data with

ds.WriteXML (sXMLFile, XMLWriteMode.WriteSchema);

the XML generated looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<MyDataSet>
  <xs:schema id="MyDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
    <xs:element name="MyDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:Locale="en-US">
      <xs:complexType>
        <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
          <xs:element name="TestData" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="79228162514264337593543950335">
            <xs:complexType>
              <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="rowid">
                  <xs:simpleType>
                    <xs:restriction base="xs:decimal" />
                  </xs:simpleType>
                </xs:element>
                ...

that is, all the numerical fields are converted from integer values (xsd:decimal / totalDigits:n / fractionDigits:0) to decimal values (xs:decimal). This is causing me a lot of pain in the desktop app.

Am I doing something wrong?
