Hello Henrik,

As for the "Create data types from schema", are you using the xsd.exe
utility or any other component to generate the class from XSD schema?

For Genericic List<xxx> type of any other Array/List based types, .net
webservice or XML seriailation will use the following like XML Array
element to map them(the "ArrayOfCustomer" element):

================
<xs:schema elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <xs:element name="ArrayOfCustomer" nillable="true" type="ArrayOfCustomer"
/>
 <xs:complexType name="ArrayOfCustomer">
   <xs:sequence>
     <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Customer"
nillable="true" type="Customer" />
   </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
 <xs:complexType name="Customer">
   <xs:sequence>
     <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="FirstName"
type="xs:string" />
     <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="LastName"
type="xs:string" />
   </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
===================

Actually, such class as Generic List<> , ArrayList, custom Collection are
all .net specific, XML/XSD schemea does not have so specific definiation
for them. and it can only use a xml array or custom elemetn with sequential
elements to represent them.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
