XmlSchemaComplexType Class
Class for complex types. Defines a complex type that determines the set of attributes and content of an element. Represents the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) complexType element.
For a list of all members of this type, see XmlSchemaComplexType Members.

Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
An element can be declared with a type attribute that refers to a complexType element that defines the structure, content, and attributes of that element.
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example creates a complexType element.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports System.Xml Imports System.Xml.Schema Class XMLSchemaExamples Public Shared Sub Main() Dim schema as New XmlSchema() ' <xs:element name="stringElementWithAnyAttribute"> Dim element as New XmlSchemaElement() schema.Items.Add(element) element.Name = "stringElementWithAnyAttribute" ' <xs:complexType> Dim complexType as New XmlSchemaComplexType() element.SchemaType = complexType ' <xs:simpleContent> Dim simpleContent as New XmlSchemaSimpleContent() complexType.ContentModel = simpleContent ' <extension base="xs:string"> Dim extension as New XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension() simpleContent.Content = extension extension.BaseTypeName = new XmlQualifiedName("string", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema") ' <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##targetNamespace"/> Dim anyAttribute as New XmlSchemaAnyAttribute() extension.AnyAttribute = anyAttribute anyAttribute.Namespace = "##targetNamespace" schema.Compile(AddressOf ValidationCallbackOne) Dim nsmgr As New XmlNamespaceManager(New NameTable()) nsmgr.AddNamespace("xs", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema") schema.Write(Console.Out, nsmgr) End Sub Public Shared Sub ValidationCallbackOne(sender as object, args as ValidationEventArgs) Console.WriteLine(args.Message) End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Schema; class XMLSchemaExamples { public static void Main() { XmlSchema schema = new XmlSchema(); // <xs:element name="stringElementWithAnyAttribute"> XmlSchemaElement element = new XmlSchemaElement(); schema.Items.Add(element); element.Name = "stringElementWithAnyAttribute"; // <xs:complexType> XmlSchemaComplexType complexType = new XmlSchemaComplexType(); element.SchemaType = complexType; // <xs:simpleContent> XmlSchemaSimpleContent simpleContent = new XmlSchemaSimpleContent(); complexType.ContentModel = simpleContent; // <extension base= "xs:string"> XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension extension = new XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension(); simpleContent.Content = extension; extension.BaseTypeName = new XmlQualifiedName("string", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); // <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##targetNamespace"/> XmlSchemaAnyAttribute anyAttribute = new XmlSchemaAnyAttribute(); extension.AnyAttribute = anyAttribute; anyAttribute.Namespace = "##targetNamespace"; schema.Compile(new ValidationEventHandler(ValidationCallbackOne)); XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable()); nsmgr.AddNamespace("xs", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); schema.Write(Console.Out, nsmgr); } public static void ValidationCallbackOne(object sender, ValidationEventArgs args) { Console.WriteLine(args.Message); } } [C++] #using <mscorlib.dll> #using <System.Xml.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Xml; using namespace System::Xml::Schema; __gc class XMLSchemaExamples { public: static void ValidationCallbackOne(Object* /*sender*/, ValidationEventArgs* args) { Console::WriteLine(args->Message); } }; int main() { XmlSchema* schema = new XmlSchema(); // <xs:element name="stringElementWithAnyAttribute"> XmlSchemaElement* element = new XmlSchemaElement(); schema->Items->Add(element); element->Name = S"stringElementWithAnyAttribute"; // <xs:complexType> XmlSchemaComplexType* complexType = new XmlSchemaComplexType(); element->SchemaType = complexType; // <xs:simpleContent> XmlSchemaSimpleContent* simpleContent = new XmlSchemaSimpleContent(); complexType->ContentModel = simpleContent; // <extension base= "xs:String*"> XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension* extension = new XmlSchemaSimpleContentExtension(); simpleContent->Content = extension; extension->BaseTypeName = new XmlQualifiedName(S"String*", S"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); // <xs:anyAttribute namespace=S"##targetNamespace"/> XmlSchemaAnyAttribute* anyAttribute = new XmlSchemaAnyAttribute(); extension->AnyAttribute = anyAttribute; anyAttribute->Namespace = S"##targetNamespace"; schema->Compile(new ValidationEventHandler(0, XMLSchemaExamples::ValidationCallbackOne)); XmlNamespaceManager* nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(new NameTable()); nsmgr->AddNamespace(S"xs", S"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"); schema->Write(Console::Out, nsmgr); }
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following XML file is used for the preceding code example.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="stringElementWithAnyAttribute">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:simpleContent>
<xs:extension base="xs:string">
<xs:anyAttribute namespace="##targetNamespace"/>
</xs:extension>
</xs:simpleContent>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
