Array in XML

[gbr]

Hi,

I want to create a typed dataset to keep my data model in a c# application. The data shall be stored in a XML file like this:

<data>
  <item1 attr="1">
    <item2>1</item2>
    <item2>2</item2>
    <item2>3</item2>
    <item2>4</item2>
  </item1>
  
  <item1 attr="2">
    <item2>5</item2>
    <item2>6</item2>
    <item2>7</item2>
    <item2>8</item2>
  </item1>
</data>

After having created a scheme with xsd I expected to access the members of the dataset as stated below:

  test = ds.item1[1].item2[3];

However xsd does not build item2 as a child of item1. Instead my expectation item2 is accessible by

  test = ds.item2[7];

Hence, there is no information about item1 (e.g. attribute, other elements, etc.) linked to item2.

Is there anyone who knows how to create an array member that is in scope of another array?

Thanks in advance,
gbr
