How to Gather data from XSD file to use the values in c# code behind.

Sippose following is your xsd File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<xs:schema id="XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:simpleType name="DeliverSchType">
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:enumeration value="01" />
<xs:enumeration value="02" />
<xs:enumeration value="08" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
<xs:simpleType name="DeliverSchType1">
<xs:restriction base="xs:int">
<xs:enumeration value="01" />
<xs:enumeration value="02" />
<xs:enumeration value="08" />
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:schema>


Now assume that from above you need all the enum values from DeliverSchType1 simple type in your code behind.


To do so you can write following c# code.

string fileName = Server.MapPath("XMLSchema.xsd");
XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
xDoc.Load(fileName);
XmlNamespaceManager xMan = new XmlNamespaceManager(xDoc.NameTable);
xMan.AddNamespace("xs", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");

XmlNodeList xNodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes(@"xs:schema/xs:simpleType[@name = 'DeliverSchType']/xs:restriction/xs:enumeration", xMan);

string[] enumVal = new string[xNodeList.Count];
int ctr = 0;
foreach (XmlNode xNode in xNodeList)
{
enumVal[ctr] = xNode.Attributes["value"].Value;
ctr++;

}

In enumVal[] you will get all the data of DeliverSchType1 simple type as ,
01
02
08
