System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaAttribute Class

Represents the attribute element from the XML Schema as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Attributes provide additional information for other document elements. The attribute tag is nested between the tags of a document's element for the schema. The XML document displays attributes as named items in the opening tag of an element.

Syntax

public class XmlSchemaAttribute : XmlSchemaAnnotated

Remarks

Attribute declarations can be present as child elements of the schema element (having global scope) or within complex type definitions. For complex types, attribute declarations can be present as local declarations or references to attributes with global scope. Both global and local attribute declarations have the optional type attribute that refers to an existing simple type. If the optional type attribute is not used, the attribute declaration (global or local) must define a local simple type.
