Remarks

An annotation element can contain one or more XmlSchemaAppInfo instances (information for applications) and XmlSchemaDocumentation instances (comments or text for humans).

An annotation is used to store extra information about the schema or its elements. These notes are specified for human consumption, xs:documentation, or by software, xs:appinfo. Annotation can be the first element of most schema elements or anywhere under the schema element.

Constructors

XmlSchemaAnnotation()

Initializes a new instance of the XmlSchemaAnnotation class.

Properties

Id	Gets or sets the string id.
Items	Gets the `Items` collection that is used to store the `appinfo` and `documentation` child elements.
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)
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)
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 schema's target namespace.

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)
