Hi There,

   I've created a XML file that contains a schema and the data, I would like to know if there's any problem in doing this?
and,

   Is it possible to make a validation in VB(data againt schema), if yes, how (simple example, please)?

Thank You

Example:

Code:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" standalone="yes" ?> 
 <IfxXmlDoc>
 <xs:schema xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" version="1.0" id="NewDataSet" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <xs:element name="IfxXmlDoc">
 <xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="string" nillable="true" type="xs:string" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="int_i32" nillable="true" type="xs:int" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="long_i64" nillable="true" type="xs:long" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="f32" nillable="true" type="xs:Float" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="f64" nillable="true" type="xs:double" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="date" nillable="true" type="xs:dateTime" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="boolean" nillable="true" type="xs:boolean" /> 
  <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="opaque" nillable="true" type="xs:base64Binary" /> 
  </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
  </xs:schema>
  <string>This is a simple example string</string> 
  <int_i32>10000</int_i32> 
  <long_i64>234567345673456</long_i64> 
  <f32>2132131</f32> 
  <f64>2132131</f64> 
  <date>04-12-2003 11:29:13</date> 
  <boolean>True</boolean> 
  </IfxXmlDoc>
