Property Value

// Reference the schema document.
String^ myStringUrl = "c:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\dataservice.xsd";
XmlSchema^ myXmlSchema;

// Create the client protocol.
DiscoveryClientProtocol^ myDiscoveryClientProtocol = gcnew DiscoveryClientProtocol;
myDiscoveryClientProtocol->Credentials = CredentialCache::DefaultCredentials;

//  Create a schema reference.
SchemaReference^ mySchemaReferenceNoParam = gcnew SchemaReference;
SchemaReference^ mySchemaReference = gcnew SchemaReference( myStringUrl );

// Set the client protocol.
mySchemaReference->ClientProtocol = myDiscoveryClientProtocol;

// Access the default file name associated with the schema reference.
Console::WriteLine( "Default filename is : {0}", mySchemaReference->DefaultFilename );

// Access the namespace associated with schema reference class.
Console::WriteLine( "Namespace is : {0}", SchemaReference::Namespace );
FileStream^ myStream = gcnew FileStream( myStringUrl,FileMode::OpenOrCreate );

// Read the document in a stream.
mySchemaReference->ReadDocument( myStream );

// Get the schema of referenced document.
myXmlSchema = mySchemaReference->Schema;
Console::WriteLine( "Reference is : {0}", mySchemaReference->Ref );
Console::WriteLine( "Target namespace (default empty) is : {0}", mySchemaReference->TargetNamespace );
Console::WriteLine( "URL is : {0}", mySchemaReference->Url );

// Write the document in the stream.
mySchemaReference->WriteDocument( myXmlSchema, myStream );
myStream->Close();
