The root element of the schema definition xml file.

reference-directives

Zero or more <Reference> elements defining assembly references. This allows types of the referenced assemblies to be used in the schema definition file.

using-directives

Zero or more <Using> elements specifying namespaces that are investigated whenever an unqualified class name is found in the schema definition file. This allows types to be used with their short names.

type-mappings

Zero or more <Type> elements defining the representation of types in the underlying relational database system and/or translation of their members to SQL.

Remarks

The <Mapping> element has to be the root element of the schema definition xml file. It contains all type mapping information as sub-elements.

The default XML namespace of the elements in the schema definition file has to be the urn:TechTalk:TT.OODAL.XmlMapping namespace.

Examples

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Mapping xmlns="urn:TechTalk:TT.OODAL.XmlMapping">
    <Reference assembly="mscorlib" />
    <Reference assembly="TechTalk.Genome" />
    <Reference assembly="Northwind.Business" />

    <Using namespace="System" />
    <Using namespace="TechTalk.Genome.Mapping" />
    <Using namespace="TechTalk.Genome.Schema.Builder.Xml" />
    <Using namespace="Northwind.Business" />
