QFEKB FIX: Error Message: Invalid Particle Derivation by Restriction (328349)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft XML 4.0 SP1

This article was previously published under Q328349

SYMPTOMS

When you define an abstract, complex type with a particle that references an abstract, globally declared element, you may receive the following error message:
Invalid Particle Derivation by Restriction
Base Type: {urn:my-namespace} ContainHead2Type
Derived Type: {urn:my-namespace} ContainMember2Type
This occurs when the particle that references the abstract, globally declared element restricts the element by creating a complex type that is in the same substitution group as the abstract element that is in the base type.
