Represents the attribute element from the XML Schema as specified by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Attributes provide additional information for other document elements. The attribute tag is nested between the tags of a document's element for the schema. The XML document displays attributes as named items in the opening tag of an element.

The following XML file is generated for the preceding code example.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="IBM437"?>
<xs:schema  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xs:attribute name="mybaseattribute">
        <xs:simpleType>
            <xs:restriction base="xs:integer">

Remarks

Attribute declarations can be present as child elements of the schema element (having global scope) or within complex type definitions. For complex types, attribute declarations can be present as local declarations or references to attributes with global scope. Both global and local attribute declarations have the optional type attribute that refers to an existing simple type. If the optional type attribute is not used, the attribute declaration (global or local) must define a local simple type.

Constructors

XmlSchemaAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the XmlSchemaAttribute class.

Properties

Annotation	Gets or sets the `annotation` property. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated)
AttributeSchemaType	Gets an XmlSchemaSimpleType object representing the type of the attribute based on the SchemaType or SchemaTypeName of the attribute.
AttributeType	Obsolete. Obsolete. Obsolete. Gets the common language runtime (CLR) object based on the SchemaType or SchemaTypeName of the attribute that holds the post-compilation value of the `AttributeType` property.
DefaultValue	Gets or sets the default value for the attribute.
FixedValue	Gets or sets the fixed value for the attribute.
Form	Gets or sets the form for the attribute.
Id	Gets or sets the string id. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated)
LineNumber	Gets or sets the line number in the file to which the `schema` element refers. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject)
LinePosition	Gets or sets the line position in the file to which the `schema` element refers. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject)
Name	Gets or sets the name of the attribute.
Namespaces	Gets or sets the XmlSerializerNamespaces to use with this schema object. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject)
Parent	Gets or sets the parent of this XmlSchemaObject. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject)
QualifiedName	Gets the qualified name for the attribute.
RefName	Gets or sets the name of an attribute declared in this schema (or another schema indicated by the specified namespace).
SchemaType	Gets or sets the attribute type to a simple type.
SchemaTypeName	Gets or sets the name of the simple type defined in this schema (or another schema indicated by the specified namespace).
SourceUri	Gets or sets the source location for the file that loaded the schema. (Inherited from XmlSchemaObject)
UnhandledAttributes	Gets or sets the qualified attributes that do not belong to the current schema's target namespace. (Inherited from XmlSchemaAnnotated)
Use	Gets or sets information about how the attribute is used.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
