SYMPTOMS
Qualified attributes in an XML schema do not result in the correct declarations in the XSD or WSDL-generated code.



RESOLUTION
A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next Microsoft .NET Framework Service Pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.

The English version of this fix has the file attributes (or later) that are listed in the following table. The dates and times for these files are listed in coordinated universal time (UTC).

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually add the XmlSchemaForm.Qualified declarations to the generated code.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
By default, the .NET Framework assumes that non-declared attributes are Unqualified. This can create errors when an attribute is not declared as a qualified attribute.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:   Create a file named Test.xsd that contains the following schema:        <xs:attribute form=&quot;qualified&quot;  name=&quot;a2&quot; type=&quot;xs:string&quot; /> <xs:attribute                   name=&quot;a3&quot; type=&quot;xs:string&quot; /> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> </li> <li>At a Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft .NET Framework command prompt, type xsd /c test.xsd, and then press ENTER.</li></ol>

This command creates a file named Test.cs that contains generated code. This code includes the following: [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute (Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)] public string shipTo; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute (Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)] public string a1; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute] public string a2; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute] public string a3; After you apply the hotfix, the generated code is the following: [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute (Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)] public string shipTo; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute] public string a1; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute (Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Qualified)] public string a2; ///    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute] public string a3;
