I have 2 xsd's which are nested:
DefaultSchema.xsd:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="DefaultSchema"
targetNamespace="http://myNamespace.com/DefaultSchema.xsd"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns="http://myNamespace.com/DefaultSchema.xsd"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
>
<xs:complexType name="ZForm">
<xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Part" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="Part"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Title" use="required" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="Version" type="xs:int"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Part">
<xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="Label" type="Label" minOccurs="0"></xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Title" use="required" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Label">
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:attribute name="Title" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
ExportSchema.xsd: (this one kinda wraps 1 more element (ZForms) around the main element (ZForm) of the DefaultSchema)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema id="ExportSchema"
targetNamespace="http://myNamespace.com/ExportSchema.xsd"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns="http://myNamespace.com/DefaultSchema.xsd"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:es="http://myNamespace.com/ExportSchema.xsd"
>
<xs:import namespace="http://myNamespace.com/DefaultSchema.xsd" schemaLocation="DefaultSchema.xsd"/>
<xs:element name="ZForms" type="es:ZFormType"></xs:element>
<xs:complexType name="ZFormType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ZForm" type="ZForm" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
And then finally I have a generated xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ZForms xmlns="http://myNamespace.com/ExportSchema.xsd">
<ZForm Version="1" Title="FormTitle">
<Part Title="PartTitle" >
<Label Title="LabelTitle" />
</Part>
</ZForm>
</ZForms>
Visual studio complains it doesn't know what 'Part' is.
I was hoping I do not need to use xml namespace prefixes (..) to make this xml validate, since ExportSchema.xsd has a reference to the DefaultSChema.xsd.
Is there any way to make that xml structure valid without explicitly specifying the DefaultSchema.xsd? Or is this a no go?
