Help with XSD

[IdanS]

Hi guys,

I have built xsd for my xml.
Everything is working ok, but now I need to add support to the XML that a specific attribute will be unique.

The attribute that I need it to be unique is the "Id" attribute of the "Test" element, you can find it with the following code:

<xs:attribute ref="Id" use="required" />

here is my XSD:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="Interactions">
    <xs:complexType>

Without seeing your XML file, I cannot give a precise answer. The element you need to use is <xsd:unique> and your schema modification should look something like this:

<xsd:unique  name= "uniqueId">
      <xsd:selector xpath="./yourxpath" />
      <xsd:field xpath="@Id"/>
    </xsd:unique>

fpmurphy thank you for your replay,

I know that i need to use the xsd:unique tag,
but i cannot work it out.
can't you look at my xsd and tell me where and how do i need to insert this tag.
