How to Specify XML schemaLocation

Hi,

I have an XML document which references a single XSD schema file which are both in the same directory. When referencing the schema in the XML file, is it possible to use a relative URL? If not, is there a way round the problem of having to maintain different versions of the XML file on my local development machine and on the production server?

Kind wishes, Patrick

Got it now, thanks. Your reply puts my mind at ease because I had read a lot of (sometimes) contradictory information on schemas, and at least one website I visited said something about relative URLs not being allowed and most only gave explicit full URLs.

I think my local working copy was actually working but the Visual Studio Intellisense just hadn't got it until I explicitly added my schema.

Not a problem:

HTML

xsi:schemaLocation="http://MYNAMESPACE ../../folder/relative/schema.xsd"

But remeber: http://MYNAMESPACE must be replaced with the targetNamespace URI of your schema.
