• Brock Taylor XSD.exe

  I'm trying to use XSD.exe on a XSD to create C# objects. 1) My XSD has external include XSD's which XSD.exe builds fine.

• Jason Yip XML Schema - Trimming

  I'm using an XML schema in SQL Server 2005 that has 'include' directives in it, and because SQL 2005 doesn't support 'include' directives, i've had to merge all the schemas into one to overcome this. The schema itself works fine, but my problem stems from the fact that the schema itself ends up about 2MB (50,000+lines) and includes far too many elements/types that I don't need, but were in the included schemas. Stripping them out by hand tak ...Show All
