Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 for Microsoft Office - SOM Reference

ISchemaItem Interface

Returns information about all the individual items in an XML Schema. The itemByName and itemByQName methods of the ISchemaItemCollection interface return the ISchemaItem objects. The information provided by the ISchemaItem interface is top-level. To obtain more information about the item, use the other interfaces in the SOM. For a list of these interfaces, see the SOM Reference overview.
