types Property

Returns an ISchemaItemCollection object. This collection contains top-level <simpleType> and <complexType> declarations of the XML Schema. The ISchemaType.itemType property determines whether the object is of the type complex or simple.

Example

This VBScript example shows type information being extracted from an XML Schema document.

The following is the XML Schema used in the example.

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" finalDefault="restriction">
   <xsd:element name="item">
    <xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element name="productName" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element name="quantity">
       <xsd:simpleType>
        <xsd:restriction base="xsd:positiveInteger">
         <xsd:maxExclusive value="100"/>
        </xsd:restriction>
       </xsd:simpleType>
      </xsd:element>
      <xsd:element name="USPrice"  type="xsd:decimal"/>
      <xsd:element name="shipDate" type="xsd:date" minOccurs="0"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:attribute name="partNum" type="xsd:int" use="required"/>
    </xsd:complexType>
   </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

The following is the VBScript example.

Dim oSchemaCache as New XMLSchemaCache50
Dim oSchema as ISchema
Dim oType as ISchemaType
Dim nsTarget as String
Dim strText as String

nsTarget = "http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"
oSchemaCache.add nsTarget, "po.xsd"
Set oSchema = oSchemaCache.getSchema(nsTarget)
For Each oType in oSchema.types
   strText = oType.name & " is a "
   If oType.itemType = SOMITEM_ANYTYPE Then
      strText = strText & "built-in complex any type"
   End If
   If oType.itemType = SOMITEM_SIMPLETYPE Then
      strText = strText & "simple type"
   End If
   If oType.itemType = SOMITEM_COMPLEXTYPE Then
      strText = strText & "complex type"
   End If
   If (oType.itemType and SOMITEM_DATATYPE) = SOMITEM_DATATYPE Then
      strText = strText & "built-in type"
   End If
Next
msgbox strText

var oTypes = oISchema.types;

Set oTypes = oISchema.types

HRESULT get_types (ISchemaItemCollection** types);
