Adapter GetSchema Method

Suppose the referenced WSDL file contains only schema references and does not contain embedded schemas. In this case, you use the GetSchema method of the IAdapterConfig interface to load a schema referenced from within a WSDL file.

In the file adapter sample, modify the code in the GetSchema method of AdapterManagement.cs to return any external XSD files that are not included with the WSDL files.

The following code is from the GetSchema method of the AdapterManagement.cs file. It returns null here because the Service1.wsdl file contains embedded schemas. If that were not the case, a string corresponding to an XSD schema file would need to be returned.

/// <summary>  
        /// Acquire externally referenced xsd's  
        /// </summary>  
        /// <param name="xsdLocation">Location of schema</param>  
        /// <param name="xsdNamespace">Namespace</param>  
        /// <param name="XSDFileName">Schmea file name (return)</param>  
        /// <returns>Outcome of acquisition</returns>  
        public Result GetSchema(string xsdLocation,  
                                string xsdNamespace,  
                        out string xsdSchema)   
      {  
            xsdSchema = null;  
            return Result.Continue;  
        }
