I have a Xml schema like the this:

....
<schema xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace = "http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/ipdr"
xmlns:ipdr = "http://www.ipdr.org/namespaces/ipdr"
version = "3.0"
elementFormDefault = "qualified"
attributeFormDefault = "unqualified">
<include schemaLocation = "IPDRDoc3.0.xsd"/>
<element name = "day" type = "string"/>
<element name = "size" type = "int"/>
<complexType name = "IPDR-TEST-Type">
<complexContent>
<extension base = "ipdr:IPDRType">
<sequence>
<element ref = "ipdr:day"/>
<element ref = "ipdr:size" minOccurs="0"/>
</sequence>
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
</schema>

I would like to be able write code which would output the following to me:

IPDR-TEST-TYPE
NAME DATA-TYPE MIN-OCCURANCE
Day string 1
size int 0

I've tried the following:

reader = new XmlTextReader(getIPDRStructure.FileName);
schema = XmlSchema.Read(reader,null);

foreach(XmlSchemaObject elem in schema.Items)
{
if(elem is XmlSchemaComplexType)
{
XmlSchemaComplexType complexType = (XmlSchemaComplexType)elem;

// but complexType.Particle here is null

Steve,
There is a problem with your schema definition. If you change your schema
definition to just <schema> then the following XSLT will work:
