ISchema Interface

10/27/2016

[This section discusses a feature was only implemented for MSXML 6.0.]

Provides information about individual XML Schemas in the schema cache. Each XML Schema in the schema cache must have a unique namespace to differentiate it from other XML Schemas. The ISchema object is returned by using IXMLDOMSchemaCollection2.getSchema or ISchemaItem.schema. The getSchema method requires the namespace argument to return an XML Schema, and the schema property returns the XML Schema for the current XML Schema item.

Properties

attributeGroups	Retrieves the collection of `<attributeGroup>` declarations. This collection contains objects that implement the `ISchemaAttributeGroup` interface.
attributes	Retrieves the collection of top-level `<attribute>` declarations. This collection contains objects that implement the `ISchemaAttribute` interface.
elements	Retrieves the collection of top-level `<element>` declarations. This collection contains objects that implement the `ISchemaElement` interface.
modelGroups	Retrieves the collection of `<modelGroup>` declarations. This collection contains objects that implement the `ISchemaModelGroup` interface.
notations	Retrieves the collection of notations. This collection contains objects that implement the `ISchemaNotation` interface.
schemaLocations	Retrieves the string collection of XML Schema URIs that are imported to or included in an XML Schema.
targetNamespace	Retrieves the value of the `targetNamespace` attribute for the XML Schema.
types	Retrieves a collection of named simple-type and complex-type objects defined in the XML Schema.
version	Retrieves the value of the `version` attribute of the XML Schema.
