XML and optional fields

[britcyberguy]

I have a class, which currently requires all public fields to be present, does anybody know what i have to add to make certain fields optional

Thanks

When you define the schema, set:
use='optional'

In additional to Craig answer: if the fields stored as attributes, you can specify use="optional" in the schema. Otherwise (if the fields stored as elements), you should set minOccurs attribute of the corresponding element to 0.
