How Do I...Infer an XML Schema?

This sample illustrates how to infer an XML schema from a given XML document using the XmlSchemaInference class. An XmlSchemaInference object is used to infer an XML schema from a given XML document, and adds the inferred schema to an XmlSchemaSet object. The inferred schema is further refined using schemas inferred from additional XML documents.

VB XmlSchemaInference.exe

The following code creates the XmlSchemaInference and XmlSchemaSet objects.

		
XmlSchemaInference infer = new XmlSchemaInference();
XmlSchemaSet sc = new XmlSchemaSet();

The following code infers an XML schema from an XML document.

		
sc = infer.InferSchema(new XmlTextReader("sample.xml"));
