I agree with your recommendation to use XMLSpy by Altova for working with XML and XSD files.

I have the entire Mission Kit. I find more utility out of XMLSpy than any other tool in the kit.

Here is an example of how to read an XML file, extract attributes of elements and also validate it against a schema.

I use this to read user-editable configuration files for my project. By using XML with a schema, I can control the format of the file and verify that it adheres to this format when reading it. This allows me to abort application startup with a meaningful error message if someone makes an invalid edit to the configuration file.

This is also a good primer on how to read XML files using .NET calls. I hope you find this useful.

I also suggest you read some of the tutorials on the net about XML and XSD (schema) to understand how to create and edit your own files. In addition, I recommend XMLSpy by Altova for working with XML and XSD files.

This is my first attempt to use this tool. When the new class is built, I open the "... Create.vi" and it has a broken run arrow because the "... New.vi" cannot be found. Likewise, when I open the "... Destroy.vi", it has a broken run arrow because the "... Delete.vi" cannot be found. These VIs do exist on the hard drive, but there may be a password issue.

Can some help me to get out of the starting block?

Thanks,
