PRB: XmlElementAttribute Is Missing for the Generated Class Members While Using Xsd.exe (816222)

MORE INFORMATION

• By default, public properties and fields of a class are serialized as XML elements when you use XmlSerializer to serialize an instance of the class.
• The default value of the Form property of the XmlElementAttribute is qualified.

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
2. On the File menu, point to New, and then click File.
3. Under Categories, click General, and then under Templates, click XML Schema. Click Open. By default, XMLSchema1 is created.
4. On the XML tab, replace the existing code with the following code:

   <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="unqualified" targetNamespace="mainns" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <xs:complexType name="Employee" mixed="true">
         <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="IntegerElement" type="xs:int" />
            <xs:any minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
         </xs:sequence>
         <xs:attribute name="TestAttribute" type="xs:int" />
      </xs:complexType>
      <xs:complexType name="EmpDataType" mixed="false">
         <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="EmpId" type="xs:int" />
            <xs:element name="Salary" type="xs:float" />
            <xs:element name="EmployeeName" type="xs:string" />
         </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
      <xs:element name="MyComplexElement" type="main:EmpDataType" xmlns:main="mainns" />
   </xs:schema>
   

5. On the File menu, click Save FileName As, and then type C:\MyFirstXmlSchema.xsd in the File name text box. Click Save.
6. On the File menu, point to New, and then click File.
7. Under Categories, click General, and then under Templates, click XML Schema. Click Open.
8. On the XML tab, replace the existing code with the following code:

   <xs:schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="mainns" xmlns="mainns" xmlns:mstns="mainns" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
      <xs:include schemaLocation="C:\MyFirstXMLSchema.xsd" />
      <xs:element name="MyMainElement" type="mstns:EmpDataType" />
   </xs:schema>

9. On the File menu, click Save FileName As, type C:\MySecondXmlSchema.xsd in the File name text box, and then click Save.
10. Start the Visual Studio .NET command prompt.
11. To generate the classes from the base schema, type the following command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
    
    To generate classes in Visual Basic .NET

    xsd /c /l:vb /o:C:\ C:\MyFirstXmlSchema.xsd

    To generate classes in Visual C# .NET

    xsd /c /l:cs /o:C:\ C:\MyFirstXmlSchema.xsd

12. The class is generated as follows:
    
    Visual Basic .NET (C:\MyFirstXmlSchema.xsd)

    using System.Xml.Serialization;

        public int EmpId;

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
