MORE INFORMATION

When you try to use the BizTalk Schema Generator in Microsoft BizTalk Server to convert a complex DTD schema or a complex XDR schema to an XSD schema, the BizTalk Schema Generator parses the schema and tries to generate a valid XSD schema. The DTD schema and the XDR schema are older XML schemas that have been replaced by the XSD schema. The BizTalk Schema Generator in BizTalk Server 2004 does not support the conversion of complex DTD schemas or complex XDR schemas to an XSD schema.
