Hi All,

I am a newbie to XML (and not much better in VB), but I have designed a
simple data extraction program which reads data from a server and writes in
out in XML.

So far I have done this using DTDs for validation, I would like to move to
Schemas to get better validation, but I can't find any two books that agree
on what can and can't currently be done.

What is the current level of support for Schemas in VB6?
Are W3C Schemas supported, or only Microsoft's variant?
Are there any other ?parsers? available?

Thanks,

I've been fiddling with vb6 and the xsd validation stuff a
bit. Msxml40 is supposedly capable of xsd validation while
msxml30 is only capable of validating against the older
schema flavors such a dtd and dtr. I've yet to get msxml40
to work on more that just a very simple pair of xml and
xsd files.
NOTE:
In my experience so far, the few examples I have been
able to find have had several syntax errors so read them
closely and watch out for goofs.
