hello friends

i have one schema
which contain element like

C#

<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="employee" nillable="true" maxOccurs="2" type="xs:string"/>

I have one xml file with no element named "employee". As per xml schema minOccurs is Zero(0), so validation should not fail.

But if there isn't any employee element, I get error in validate.

How can i solve it

please help
thanks

hi PKriyshnA.
have you tried this:

XML

<xs:element name="employee">
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:all minOccurs="0">
       <xs:element name="FirstN" type="xs:string"/>
       <xs:element name="LastN" type="xs:string"/>
     </xs:all>
   </xs:complexType>
 </xs:element>

The example above indicates that the "firstname" and the "lastname" elements can appear in any order and each element CAN appear zero or one time!
