Attributes in XSD

Hi Folks,

I am having a problem here, I use a piece of software to create xml based interfaces for an application, and I can bind these interfaces datasource to a dataset that I am currently creating using an xsd schema.

Not being an xml expert I can not for the life of me figure out a way to create an xsd schema file that has elements of a type (i.e. xs:string) but that also have attributes...

Ideally I want

Code:

<xs:element name="A1203513053788" type="xs:string">
					<xs:complexType>
						<xs:attribute name="Section" type="xs:string" />
						<xs:attribute name="Title" type="xs:string" />
						<xs:attribute name="IType" type="xs:string" />
						<xs:attribute name="Ident" type="xs:string" />
					</xs:complexType>
				</xs:element>

Type stuff.. however I know you can not have a type declaration where there is a child node complexType that will declare the type. How can I make this a String or an Int element, but also include attributes in it?

I can not create nodes using ref="myNodeType " stuff, as the software we are using can't seem to create this join and link up the datatables...

Any help would be brilliant here...

Also this:

Code:

<xs:attribute name="type" type="xs:string" fixed="xs:int" />

didnt work, I got an error binding an item on the interface to it.. I dont think it can see it's an int
