XML Schema question

[Elkvis]

Let's say I have an XML document in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Document>
  <Object>
    <Child1>
      <SomeData></SomeData>
    </Child1>
    <Child2>
      <SomeData></SomeData>
    </Child2>
    <Child3>
      <SomeData></SomeData>
    </Child3>
  </Object>
  <Object>
    <Child1>
      <SomeData></SomeData>
    </Child1>
  </Object>
</Document>

The XML schema for this file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="Document">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Object">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
              <xs:element name="Child1">
                <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="SomeData" />
                  </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>
              <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Child2">
                <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="SomeData" />
                  </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>
              <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Child3">
                <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="SomeData" />
                  </xs:sequence>
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

is there a way to modify the XML schema file to recognize the individual <Child*> elements, but treat them as an array of <Child> elements (minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded") in code (C#) generated from the schema?

Doesn't xsd do this for you? If I remember correctly if your schema is correct xsd will create arrays for you. However there is a bug in xsd that causes multiple definitions to occur.

[Elkvis]

the problem is with the fact that the elements are Child1, Child2, Child3, etc. xsd just sees them as independent elements, and doesn't know to put them into an array.
