type Property (ISchemaAttribute)

 

[This feature was only implemented for MSXML 6.0.]

Returns an ISchemaType object. This object contains type information about the attribute item being queried. Use the ISchemaType interface to obtain further information about the attribute's type object. When the value returned for the type property is SCHEMAUSE_PROHIBITED, the value of the ISchemaItem.itemType property of the attribute is SOMITEM_DATATYPE_ANYTYPE.

The following is an example of the type definition in a schema.

<schema>

<attribute name="someAttribute" type = "xsd:string"/>

<complexType name="newitemtype">

</complexType>

</schema>

JScript Syntax

The following snippet is taken from the Walk the SOM sample application. In this snippet, the type property is retrieved from the ISchemaAttribute object.

            printAttr = printAttr + " type='" + printName(oAttr.type) + "'"
        End If

Visual Basic Syntax

Set oType = oISchemaAttribute.type  

Parameters
