Aha - good idea! Indeed - the WSDL 1.1 namespace is my default namespace, and yep that returns a Schemas collection of one as expected - thanks a lot.
However, I've just reread the docs and noticed that most unhelpfully ServiceDescription.Types.Schemas actually returns an XmlSchemas instance (that "is not intended to be used directly from your code" blah, blah..) rather than an XmlSchemaCollection. Apparently "In the default implementation of the Types class, this property returns an empty collection". I don't know if the different ServiceDescription.Read() overloads return internal subclasses of ServiceDescription, but I'm definitely getting a collection containing XmlSchema objects back. However, it doesn't sound like supported behaviour... As a result, I think I'm going to code up a lightweight ServiceDescription-like class myself that supports WSDL imports - for choice, I'd prefer access to a collection of schemas keyed by target namespace anyway rather than one schema with no target namespace. Thanks a lot for the suggestion though - Julian -----Original Message----- From: Jim Murphy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 May 2004 14:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] ServiceDescription - importing schema into WSDL I haven't tried this in a while but... I assume the <import> tag is in the WSDL1.1 namespace by including xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; in the Definitions node. wsdl:import is used for other WSDL documents. You should use an XML schema import instead. This is pretty easy to do by adjusting your WSDL: <types> <xs:schema> <xs:import namespace="thenamespace" schemaLocation="your.xsd"/> </xs:schema> </types> You can have as many <xs:import> elements as you like. I'd love to hear the results of this. Regards, Jim Murphy Mindreef, Inc. Julian Everett wrote: > Hi there, > > I've got an Xml schema that I want to use in a WSDL document.
