<div>
I don't think nillable is the answer<br />
because then you need to explicitely set the xsi:nil attribute to make it work<br />
is that acceptable?<br />
&lt;ParentSDSID xsi:nil=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/ParentSDS<wbr />ID&gt;
</div>

<ParentSDSID xsi:nil="true"></ParentSDSID>

<div>
Here is what I would do<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-39999499-1">    &lt;xs:element type=&quot;long-and-null&quot; name=&quot;ParentSDSID&quot;/&gt; 
    &lt;xs:simpleType name=&quot;long-and-null&quot;&gt;
        &lt;xs:union memberTypes=&quot;stp-long stp-empty&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/xs:simpleType&gt;
    &lt;xs:simpleType name=&quot;stp-long&quot;&gt;
        &lt;xs:restriction base=&quot;xs:long&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/xs:simpleType&gt;
    &lt;xs:simpleType name=&quot;stp-empty&quot;&gt;
        &lt;xs:restriction base=&quot;xs:string&quot;&gt;
            &lt;xs:maxLength value=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;
        &lt;/xs:restriction&gt;
    &lt;/xs:simpleType&gt;</code></pre>
</div>


Here is what I would do



    <xs:element type="long-and-null" name="ParentSDSID"/> 
    <xs:simpleType name="long-and-null">
        <xs:union memberTypes="stp-long stp-empty"/>
    </xs:simpleType>
    <xs:simpleType name="stp-long">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:long"/>
    </xs:simpleType>
    <xs:simpleType name="stp-empty">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
            <xs:maxLength value="0"/>
        </xs:restriction>

How to send blank for integer / long in XML ?

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
