Documentation Element Binding Support
This topic is specific to a legacy technology. XML Web services and XML Web service clients should now be created using Windows Communication Foundation.
The .NET Framework does not provide binding support for the <documentation> element.
When generating source code from an XML Schema document, Xsd.exe ignores the <documentation> element and its contents.
Explanation
When generating source code from an XML Schema document, Xsd.exe ignores the <documentation> element and its contents. The same is true for the parent of the <documentation> element, <annotation>. (One exception is the special use of the .NET Framework-specific <keepNamespaceDeclarations> element under annotation/appinfo to preserve prefix-to-namespace mappings. See the <annotation> and <appinfo> elements.)

Since the .NET Framework does not bind the <documentation> element, it does not bind the element's attributes. |
