Hi All,

I'm completely new to Web Services and XSD's - I've primarily done 'Linq to
SQL'.

So I got this task of developing a Library application (in MonoTouch).
Sounded easy enough.

I started of by getting the "AlmaMessage.xsd" file and its documentation
"AlmaMessage.doc".

Ok, I did a simple ">xsd AlmaMessage.xsd /classes" and got the
"AlmaMessage.cs" file.

I then made a console project in MonoDevelop and included all the files and
some test data in "Test.xml".

After a few test I made this primitive program :

------------------------------------------------------
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using Schemas; // Namespace in the AlmaMessage.cs file



namespace aTestofXSDtoCS
{
	class MainClass
	{
		public static void Main (string[] args)
		{
			AlmaMessage am = new AlmaMessage();
			XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(AlmaMessage));
			FileStream fs = new FileStream("Test.xml", FileMode.Open);
                        XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(fs);
			am  = (AlmaMessage) s.Deserialize(reader);
			fs.Close();
		}
	}
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a successful build I tried to run it but got the following :

/[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.InvalidOperationException: There
is an error in XML document. ---> System.InvalidOperationException:
<AlmaMessage xmlns=''> was not expected

  at a.MainClass.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00029] in
/Users/jab/Projects/a/a/Main.cs:23 

Press any key to continue.../

This is where I got stuck ... no matter what I do I seem to go back to this
error ... now since I don't know much about XSD's, XML or Web Services I
can't get passed this point without more work then I have time for so could
someone help ?

TIA,
Athos Deterious.
