XmlSchemaAttributeGroup Class
Represents the attributeGroup element from the XML Schema as specified by the . AttributesGroups provides a mechanism to group a set of attribute declarations so that they can be incorporated as a group into complex type definitions.
System.Xml.Schema::XmlSchemaObject
System.Xml.Schema::XmlSchemaAnnotated
System.Xml.Schema::XmlSchemaAttributeGroup
Assembly: System.Xml (in System.Xml.dll)
The XmlSchemaAttributeGroup type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | XmlSchemaAttributeGroup | Initializes a new instance of the XmlSchemaAttributeGroup class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Annotation | Gets or sets the annotation property. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated.) |
![]() ![]() | AnyAttribute | Gets or sets the XmlSchemaAnyAttribute component of the attribute group. |
![]() ![]() | Attributes | Gets the collection of attributes for the attribute group. Contains XmlSchemaAttribute and XmlSchemaAttributeGroupRef elements. |
![]() ![]() | Id | Gets or sets the string id. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated.) |
![]() ![]() | LineNumber | Gets or sets the line number in the file to which the schema element refers. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject.) |
![]() ![]() | LinePosition | Gets or sets the line position in the file to which the schema element refers. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject.) |
![]() ![]() | Name | Gets or sets the name of the attribute group. |
![]() ![]() | Namespaces | Gets or sets the XmlSerializerNamespaces to use with this schema object. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject.) |
![]() ![]() | Parent | Gets or sets the parent of this XmlSchemaObject. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject.) |
![]() ![]() | QualifiedName | Gets the qualified name of the attribute group. |
![]() ![]() | RedefinedAttributeGroup | Gets the redefined attribute group property from the XML Schema. |
![]() ![]() | SourceUri | Gets or sets the source location for the file that loaded the schema. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject.) |
![]() ![]() | UnhandledAttributes | Gets or sets the qualified attributes that do not belong to the current schema's target namespace. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
An attribute group can be defined only as a child of the schema element. In this case, the name attribute must be present and contain the attribute, attributeGroup, or anyAttribute elements that make up the attribute group. When a complexType or an attributeGroup element includes an attribute group, the ref attribute must be present and the name attribute is not allowed.
The following example creates the attributeGroup element.
