The type to return a schema for.

XmlSchemaType

An XmlSchemaType that contains the XML schema.

Remarks

The main purpose of this method is to allow anonymous types in XML schema to be represented. Because anonymous types do not have a contract name and namespace, they cannot be looked up using the GetSchemaTypeName. This method returns the XmlSchemaType definition for such types. The types for which the GetSchemaTypeName method returns a valid name, this method returns null.
