Hi all,<br/> <br/> sorry about the vague heading :-s<br/> <br/> I am required to work with XSDs at the moment and I have never really touched on them in the past. I understand its use in that it validates the content/structure of a given XML document. However, I am attempt to connect to a clients web service and they have provided me with an WSDL file and and XSD file. I have the link to their website, which I cant really form a proxy class from since the service takes a XML string as a URL parameter, so am constructing the web service request via the HttpWebRequest object.<br/> <br/> My question is this, with the XSD that they have given me (it is an XSD against a XML response that I will be getting from their web service), what exactly do I do with it? Do I use it for validating purposes when I get a XML document response back from their service? Can I use it to see how the structure of the XML document will look?<br/> <br/> Sorry if this is a very basic question, just that its new ground for me.<br/> <br/> Thanks<hr class="sig Tryst
