XML element data types

[wxdqz]

I have been reading the various XML docs on the MS web site to figure outhow to create the schema required to specify specific data types (instead ofusing strings). At first, I was going to use the approach in Russell Jones'June 2000 VBpJ article where he used custom attributes on elements to storethe data type info. However, I gather that MSXML3 has since then, addedsupport for data types. Although the XML references on the MS web sites doprovide VB/C++ coding information and brief examples for their COM basedMSXML, I could not find any similar info for the schema. Instead, theysimply explain the nature of these schema. Is there no API to generate therequired XML schema?Ara AshikianStructural Concepts
