Date validation with XSD

[Gopi Chella]

Hi Guys,

Below is the line from my xsd file and i want to check whether the date is after Jan 2008 in XML, if the date is before Jan 2008 then my xsd should catch that.

Is there a way we can do this with xsd ? because i have searched a lot to find this but no luck. can you guys help me here ?

<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Date" type="xs:string" />

Thanks, Gopi

Try

    		<xsd:element name="StartDate">
    			<xsd:simpleType>
    				<xsd:restriction base="xsd:dateTime">
    					<xsd:minInclusive value="2008-01-01T00:00:00"></xsd:minInclusive>
    				</xsd:restriction>
    			</xsd:simpleType>
    		</xsd:element>
