dotnet xml:

Hi,

I have got to transfer some data into a c# project from an old one that was
written in delphi. I am new to XML, but it looks idea for transfering this
data around. I have written a schema for this data using the tools in visual
studio, my problem is that i dont know how to represent the arrays in the
schema. These arrays a dynamic, so i dont know how big they are at
design-time. Is it possible to represent this kind of data in XML?

thanks in advance

Neil

yes it is possible.

I suggest you use the xsd.exe tool as a design aid.
Build a class in C#, then compile it into a DLL.
Run xsd /t:YourType to generate xsd that corresponds to YourType.

Using xsd.exe, You can also take an XSD file and generate C#.
Using this approach you can iterate to figure out how to generate a schema
that fits your needs.
