Question : How to read field names from an XSD file.

Hi Experts,

I have the code snippet I am using that I snatched from the MSDN site and it does seem to iterate through the XSD file that I
am trying to get the field names of all the fields that exist in the XSD file. I am trying to parse that fields so that I can set
a value in a column on a gridview with the field name from the XSD file. I tried to access finer details in each XMLSchemaObject,
but it remains hidden or otherwise unavailable to me in the example given below.

Any help would be most welcome!

TIA,
Bob
