The Forms XML Schema, forms.xsd
, is the file against which XML
files can be validated. The XMLValidator
tool generates a Forms
XML Schema file internally for validating against XML files. The SchemaGenerator
tool generates a forms.xsd
file that you can use with your own
XML software or parser.

The schema also allows you to perform validation on the "special"
elements such as ListItemElement
and RecordGroupColumnRow
,
and on the Type
property for DataSourceColumns
, DataSourceArguments
and ObjectGroupChildren
.
