XmlSchemaSet.Schemas Method (String)

.NET Framework 4.5

Returns a collection of all the XML Schema definition language (XSD) schemas in the XmlSchemaSet that belong to the given namespace.

Namespace: System.Xml.Schema
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)

Syntax

C++

'Declaration
Public Function Schemas ( _
	targetNamespace As String _
) As ICollection

Parameters

targetNamespace: Type: System.String
The schema targetNamespace property.

Return Value

Type: System.Collections.ICollection
An ICollection object containing all the schemas that have been added to the XmlSchemaSet that belong to the given namespace. If no schemas have been added to the XmlSchemaSet, an empty ICollection object is returned.

Remarks

If the targetNamespace parameter is Nothing or Empty, then all schemas without a namespace are returned.

This method returns schemas that were added indirectly to the XmlSchemaSet because they were imported.

Note
The Schemas method is the equivalent of the Item method of the obsolete XmlSchemaCollection.

Examples

The following example illustrates how to iterate over all the schemas in the http://www.contoso.com/books namespace in the XmlSchemaSet.

Dim schemaSet As XmlSchemaSet = New XmlSchemaSet
schemaSet.Add("http://www.contoso.com/books", "http://www.contoso.com/books.xsd")

Dim schema As XmlSchema

For Each schema In schemaSet.Schemas("http://www.contoso.com/books")

    schema.Write(Console.Out)
