I am getting this message when I try to validate my xml document: 13:2 The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed. Every time when I try to fix line 13, I get the same error message.

I tried to write the code just like that <patient employment=""> and this <patient_employment> and <patientemployment> and I still get an error message. 
|
|
|
|
|
I tried that but it did not work and I tried <patient_employment> and I tried <patientemployment> and I still got an error.
|
|
|
|
|
And did you take a good look at the line below that as well?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I did. But I still did not find any solutions to the error.
|
|
|
|
|
And what did you see?
I'll give you a clue:
<employer <information>Orlando Home Team</employer>
What is that? Does it look well formed to you?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|
|
no, that does not look correct. This is how I wrote the code
<employerinformation>Orlando Home Team></employerinfomation>
|
|
|
|
|
And that doesn't look right either...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

To this point I do not know what I am doing wrong. could you just please point out what I am doing wrong and how to fix it. I have been working on this for three days and I still could not figure it out.

Well, you could try:

Thank you so much, I will try it and see if it will work.
|

I tried it, but it did not validate it.

What are you using to validate it?

I want to create an XSD schema that describes this XML:
<report>
<head showpagenumer="true">
<line left="10" top="100" width="200" />
<image left="10" top="100" path="logotype.jpg" />
<text size="16" value="This is the header" />
</head>
<body leftmargin="20">
<line left="50" top="200" width="200" />
<image left="15" top="300" path="diagram.jpg" />
<text size="12" value="Here is the diagram" />
</body>
<foot showdate="true">
<line left="10" top="600" width="200" />
<image left="10" top="650" path="signature.jpg" />
<text size="12" value="This is the footer" />
</foot>
</report>
Note the following:
- I dont want to repeat the line, image and text descriptions three times in the XSD, since they will always be se same format in the head, body and foot nodes.
- As you can see, the allowed attributes in the head, body and foot nodes are different
Is it possible to create an XSD like this?

I guess you can do something like this:
First create your own type.
<xs:complexType name="contentType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="line">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="left" type="xs:int" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="top" type="xs:int" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="width" type="xs:int" use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="image">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="left" type="xs:int" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="top" type="xs:int" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="path" type="xs:string" use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="text">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="size" type="xs:int" use="required" />
<xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:string" use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
Then use it for your elements, head, body and foot
<xs:element name="head">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="content" type="contentType" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="showpagenumer" type="xs:boolean" use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

By the way, Visual Studio (version 2015, but perhaps also others) can do that job for you:
open the xml file in the editor, and then click on the "Create Schema" icon in the toolbar.

Hello,
I am trying to generate a unique value for a set of elements and place an <id> element in each of the elements. They must have the same id but only the elements enclosed in an element like <envelope>. So my XML Document looks like:

So I am trying to generate a unique id for envelope and take that value and copy the id to the <person>, <contact>, <notice> and tags. The id must be the same for the envelope and the tags that are enclosed in the envelope. ANy ideas?

Some thoughts as not sure what you are working with: Just use the ID of the parent element and don't bother to assign children ID's. If you are doing a LINQ query and target the parent element with the ID you are looking for your "result" will be the element along with its children which will have the "same ID" whether it is physically assigned or not. I also would guess that you are somehow programmatically creating the XML, adding to it occasionally or subtracting to update it. So, when you create a new element to add to your XML, include all children ID attributes at the time of creation. Hope that helps.

What I want to do is import this into Access and query the tables. The problem is Access is picky about it and makes a table for everything so I need to be able to match the records. I have no control over creating the xml document but it is generated by a system.

OK, I'm guessing from that - you are not a developer? 2 ideas: Try importing into Excel. I've been able to work with XML files successfully there. Then you should be able to tweak it there. Easiest way would be to install Visual Studio latest free version and write a short query.
P.S. The following code will do pretty much what you are saying in a Visual Basic Console Application:
Dim myXMLFileLocation As String = ""
Dim myXmlFile As XElement = XElement.Load(myXMLFileLocation)
For Each ele In myXmlFile.Elements
For Each child In ele.Descendants
child.SetAttributeValue("type", ele.@type)
Next
Next
Console.WriteLine(myXmlFile.ToString)
Console.ReadLine()
myXmlFile.Save(myXMLFileLocation)
