isReference Property

Returns a Boolean. If true, the schema element object is a reference to a top-level <element> declaration.

Example

The following example of an XML Schema includes some reference declarations. The VBScript code below the XML Schema retrieves isReference values from the XML Schema.

The following is an XML Schema with reference declarations.

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    targetNamespace="urn:myschema:all" xmlns:y="urn:myschema:all">
  <xsd:complexType name="CustomerType">
    <xsd:sequence>
      <xsd:element ref="y:Customer"/>
    </xsd:sequence>
  </xsd:complexType>
  <xsd:element name="Customer"/>
</xsd:schema>

The following is the VBScript example.

Set oSchemaCache = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLSchemaCache.5.0")
nsTarget="urn:myschema:all"
oSchemaCache.add nsTarget, "cx.xml"
Set oSchema = oSchemaCache.getSchema(nsTarget)

' Retrieve the reference to the <element> declaration.
Set oType = oSchema.types.itemByName("CustomerType")
Set oSequence = oType.contentModel
Set oElemRef = oSequence.particles.item(0)
res = oElemRef.name + " isRef:" & oElemRef.isReference & vbNewLine

' Retrieve the original <element> declaration.
Set oElemOrg = oSchema.elements.itemByName(oElemRef.name)
res = res + oElemOrg.name + " isRef:" & oElemOrg.isReference & vbNewLine

WScript.Echo res

The Echo command will show the following results.

Customer isRef:True
Customer isRef:False

var bolIsReference = oISchemaElement.isReference;

bolIsReference = oISchemaElement.isReference

HRESULT get_isReference (VARIANT_BOOL* isReference);
