Hi Folks,

I was trying to import this schema using XSD.EXE tool. After the import into
a C# file, i created an object of type "result" and tried to serialize it to
XML file. This causes an exception to be thrown.

Please could some one let me know what the issue is?

Thanks and Regards,

I found a posted bug in product feed back for this:
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=5f817c89-2447-461d-9ca9-4fd917833043

There is a work around posted there for this.
