Nested Types, Same Name

[HisMightiness]

I have a vendor XML message that I am attempting to consume in .Net. I have created the necessary XML Schema files for them to allow me to generate the strongly-typed .Net classes to allow me to work with them easier. However, in the vendor XML response, there is a nested type that has the same name as the root node.

Here is an example:

<response type="somestring">
    <node1 id="1" attr1="value">
        <childNode1 attr1="value" />
        <childNode2 attr2="value" />
        <childNode3>
            <node1>
                <subChildNode1>value</subChildNode1>
                <subChildNode2>value</subChildNode2>
                <subChildNode3>value</subChildNode3>
            </node1>
        </childNode3>
    </node1>
</response>

I cannot generate the necessary classes for this XML message because of "node1". Even though the structure is completely different, the class generator turns this into a DataSet object. So, there would be two DataTables named "node1". Does anyone know of a way around this?

Ask .net forums where you show your .net code.
