include xsd not working

[ccampbell]

I have an XSD file that includes another XSD file in a C# program. Here is the first XSD file

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<schema xmlns=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;

targetNamespace=&quot;

http://www.test.org/namespaces/Test&quot;

xmlns:ts=&quot;

http://www.test.org/namespaces/Test&quot;

elementFormDefault=&quot;qualified&quot;>

<!-- IRP Account Input Transaction, T0020, version 1 -->

<include schemaLocation=&quot;globalTypes.xsd&quot;/>
....

Here is the globalTypes.xsd file

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<schema xmlns=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;

version=&quot;1.0&quot; elementFormDefault=&quot;qualified&quot; xml:lang=&quot;EN&quot;>

<simpleType name=&quot;globalAddressTypeValues&quot;>
<restriction base=&quot;string&quot;>
<enumeration value=&quot;MA&quot;/>
<enumeration value=&quot;PH&quot;/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>

<simpleType name=&quot;globalNameTypeValues&quot;>
<restriction base=&quot;string&quot;>
<enumeration value=&quot;LG&quot;/>
<enumeration value=&quot;DB&quot;/>
</restriction>
</simpleType>
...(etc.)

Here is my error when I try to load the schema

Microsoft.Data.SqlXml.SqlXmlException: Schema: unable to load schema 'T0020V1.xsd'.

An error occurred (globaltypes.xsd#/schema[1]/simpleType[position() = 6 and @name = globalAddressTypeValues]/restriction[1]
Undeclared XSD type : '{

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

This would probably be better answered in the XML forum, but here goes anyway.

When including an XSD inside another one, do something like this:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;[/URL] elementFormDefault=&quot;qualified&quot; attributeFormDefault=&quot;unqualified&quot;>
	<xs:include schemaLocation=&quot;.\OtherXSD.xsd&quot;/>
	<xs:element name=&quot;ThisRoot&quot;>
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:sequence>
				<xs:element ref=&quot;OtherXSDRoot&quot;/>
				<xs:element name=&quot;Element1&quot;/>
				<xs:element name=&quot;Element2&quot;/>
			</xs:sequence>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>
</xs:schema>

By including the root of the other XSD as a ref, you can control where it appears in your document. It also helps to have both documents using the same namespace, but I realize that doesn't always happen.
