XmlSchemaPatternFacet Class
Represents the pattern element from XML Schema as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This class can be used to specify a restriction on the value entered for a simpleType element.
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
The following example shows the use of the XmlSchemaPatternFacet class.
using System; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Schema; class XMLSchemaExamples { public static void Main() { XmlSchema schema = new XmlSchema(); // <xs:simpleType name="ZipCodeType"> XmlSchemaSimpleType ZipCodeType = new XmlSchemaSimpleType(); ZipCodeType.Name = "ZipCodeType"; // <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> XmlSchemaSimpleTypeRestriction restriction = new XmlSchemaSimpleTypeRestriction(); restriction.BaseTypeName = new XmlQualifiedName("string", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); // <xs:pattern value="[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?"/> XmlSchemaPatternFacet pattern = new XmlSchemaPatternFacet(); pattern.Value = "[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?"; restriction.Facets.Add(pattern); ZipCodeType.Content = restriction; schema.Items.Add(ZipCodeType); // <xs:element name="Address"> XmlSchemaElement element = new XmlSchemaElement(); element.Name = "Address"; // <xs:complexType> XmlSchemaComplexType complexType = new XmlSchemaComplexType(); // <xs:attribute name="ZipCode" type="ZipCodeType"/> XmlSchemaAttribute ZipCodeAttribute = new XmlSchemaAttribute(); ZipCodeAttribute.Name = "ZipCode"; ZipCodeAttribute.SchemaTypeName = new XmlQualifiedName("ZipCodeType", ""); complexType.Attributes.Add(ZipCodeAttribute); element.SchemaType = complexType; schema.Items.Add(element); XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet(); schemaSet.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallbackOne); schemaSet.Add(schema); schemaSet.Compile(); XmlSchema compiledSchema = null; foreach (XmlSchema schema1 in schemaSet.Schemas()) { compiledSchema = schema1; } XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable()); nsmgr.AddNamespace("xs", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); compiledSchema.Write(Console.Out, nsmgr); } public static void ValidationCallbackOne(object sender, ValidationEventArgs args) { Console.WriteLine(args.Message); } }
The following XML file is generated for the preceding code example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:simpleType name="ZipCodeType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:pattern value="[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:element name="Address">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="ZipCode" type="ZipCodeType"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
