XML file and schema question... .

[m0nty005]

I'm new to XML, so bear w/ me.

I've received a schema .xsd file from my company to use. Now my question is how do I go about creating a valid .xml file that follows this .xsd schema? Is there a tool that i can use to validate to do this?
FYI, my job is to create an application that will allow my managers to generate data to an xml file that falls the .xsd schema given.

Any help I do appreciate.. and currently I am using asp and sql server for development.

Generally, you would write code that produces XML that conforms with the XSD. This can be manual, or your IDE might do it for you (Optimal J can create Java classes for you).

You need to do some reading, plus you need to learn how your development environment creates XML. BTW: String concatenation should be a last resort. You'll run into all sorts of character set & entity problems doing it that way -- better to use an XML Document object of some kind.
