XML Schema Enum

[Edneeis]

Is there a way to set a static enum type list, maybe as a simpleType, in an XML Schema?

So if this is the structure:

<Vault>
<Local>
<Title><\Title>
<Catergory><\Catergory>
<Platform><\Platform>
<\Local>
<\Vault>

I want to have Platform and Catergory be values from a list. It thought that it'd be nice to tie that into the schema, but don't know how.

XML is still something that often leaves me scratching my head, but you may want to take a look at:

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXmlSchemaXmlSchemaEnumerationFacetClassTopic.htm



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:simpleType name="SizeType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="Small" />
<xs:enumeration value="Medium" />
<xs:enumeration value="Large" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:element name="Item">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="Size" type="SizeType" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

Thanks I think that is as close as you get to an enum in XML, although it didn't work out like I wanted. Thanks.

I think you know more of the help files than anyone I know, you are a help file quoting machine, which is cool.

Thanks! Nice to be able to help YOU for once.
