Hello!

I have the following xml element defined in the schema:

<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="specificMetadata">
              <xs:complexType>
                <xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1">
                  <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="customerNumber" type="xs:string" />
                  <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="accountNumber" type="xs:string" />
				  <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="customerTextual" type="xs:string" />
                </xs:sequence>
              </xs:complexType>
            </xs:element>

I have a problem identifying if the xml input data contains the optional element <accountNumber> or not. Unfortunately I do not have the xsd schema available when I register the dataset for the template - so only the xml is registered. I tried using the condition

Code: Select all

specificMetadata["accountNumber"] == DBNull.Value

but it does not work. Is there any other way to check if the optional element is present, or is it mandatory to register the xsd schema too?
Thank you for the reply.

Hello,

Yes. In this case you can register the xsd schema too.

Thank you.
