Named attributes in schem xsd file

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,
In a schema xsd file, the connection string information is stored in a Connection element. What are the possible named attributes within that element and what do they mean? Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions!

There isn't an element in the w3c schema namespace called "Connection". That is not a vacabulary of (xsd) schema.

Hello,

From a Visual Studio Schema file:

<Connections>
  <Connection AppSettingsObjectName="MySettings" 
AppSettingsPropertyName="RbdmsConnectionString" ConnectionStringObject="" 
IsAppSettingsProperty="true" Modifier="Assembly" 
Name="RbdmsConnectionString (MySettings)" ParameterPrefix="@" 
PropertyReference="ApplicationSettings.RbdmsInspectDataCustom.My.
MySettings.GlobalReference.Default.RbdmsConnectionString" 
Provider="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</Connections>

I see that an xml document all right. But, it is not a schema (xsd) file. The true schema file can be read from DataSource.xsd. It is where you could find all the necessary structure.

[tt]
<xs:element name="Connections" maxOccurs="1">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Connection" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence />
<xs:attribute name="Name" type="xs:string" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="AppSettingsObjectName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="AppSettingsPropertyName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="ConnectionStringObject" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="IsAppSettingsProperty" type="xs:boolean" />
<xs:attribute name="Modifier" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="PropertyReference" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="Provider" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="ParameterPrefix" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

That spells out the structure of Connections element: its child elements and attributes admissible.

Sorry for my lack of clarity and imprecise language in my original post and response. Could you please post a link to where you found the above information? Thanks for taking time to respond!

Boy, I guess I need a cup of coffee. All of the above discussion pertains to the Xsd file created by Visual Studio when a strongly typed DataSet object is created. Sorry for not being more clear on the front end.
