I have an XML document and a schema. It validates fine, but when I try to
switch to data view there's a problem. So I tried "Create Schema" and got
the error:
An error occurred while loading the schema with targetNameSpace
"http://tempuri.org/XMLFile1.xsd" referenced in this document.
Index (zero based) must be greater or equal to zero and less than the size
of the argument list.

I can't find any help on this error, or see any reason why it should
occurring.

I've made this as simple as I can and I just can't see where the problem is
occurring.

My XML is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Names xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLFile1.xsd">
<name>Andy</name>
<name>Bob</name>
<name>Charles</name>
<name>Derek</name>
</Names>

my XSD is:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xs:schema id="Names" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/XMLFile1.xsd"
xmlns:mstns="http://tempuri.org/XMLFile1.xsd"
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLFile1.xsd"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-
microsoft-com:xml-msdata"

Just got back from a weekend away, worked out the problem - there was no
element defined. Being new to xsd I hadn't realised that I couldn't just
have a complex type with other complex types inside it.

However, it would have been nice if I'd been told "warning, you have no
root element" or if the schema creator had let me know in some way that one
was necessary.

Cheers,

Great Andrew,

Glad to hear that you figured this out. I will submit a DCR asking that a notification message be put in for that type of error. Thanks again for using the
Microsoft Newsgroups!
