Remarks

Use the ReadXmlSchema method to create the schema for a DataTable. The schema includes table, relation, and constraint definitions.

To write a schema to an XML document, use the WriteXmlSchema method.

The XML schema is interpreted according to the XSD standard.

The ReadXmlSchema method is generally invoked before invoking the ReadXml method which is used to fill the DataTable.
