  Hi,

  I have a certain set of minoccurs = 0 in my XSD.

  When mapping data to the class that I created using this XSD, it is found that the database is returning NULL for certain properties.

  I do not want these NULL property elements to appear in the XML

  Eg:

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

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

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

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

  Now if the database returns

  MyLevel as "20"

  YourLevel as NULL or Empty

  HisLevel as "30"

  HerLevel as "40"

  I would like the XML to look like

  <MyLevel>20</MyLevel>

  <HisLevel>30</HisLevel>

  <HerLevel>40</HerLevel>

  But I instead get

  <MyLevel>20</MyLevel>

  </YourLevel>

  <HisLevel>30</HisLevel>

  <HerLevel>40</HerLevel>

  Is there a certain property or condition that I may be missing? Is it possible to get the result I am looking for without using an if..else condition when mapping my dataset to the XSD object?

  HELP!!
