that's what I thought! and I am using the SourceGenerator.
OK - I think this may be part of my problem - here is a snippet of the schema
<xsd:complexType name="C-14">
<xsd:simpleContent>
<xsd:extension base="C-14_NoID">
<xsd:attribute name="id" type="ID"/>
</xsd:extension>
</xsd:simpleContent>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:simpleType name="C-14_NoID">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:maxLength value="14"/>
<xsd:minLength value="1"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
I am trying to get the C-14 type to validate, except the restriction
is on the C-14_NoID node, and when I look at the Descriptor class the
getExtends is always null. Which is why I think that I'm not getting
the validation I think I should be getting.
No objects are generated that have anything to do with C-14_NoID.
Do I need to let the sourcegenerator know anything special to get it
to generate the extended nodes?
Thanks again for the help!
