<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<complexType name="someelement">
<choice>
<element name="book" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="4"/>
<element name="magazine" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</choice>
</complexType>
</schema>

Parameters

If oParticle.minOccurs <> 1 Then
res = res + " minOccurs='" & oParticle.minOccurs & "'"
End If
