See more:

using xsd.exe tool to create XML Schema (XSD) for the following file

XML

<time>
<Hours_List>
    <Number>12</Number>
    <Name>08:00</Name>
    <Name>09:00</Name>
    <Name>10:00</Name>
    <Name>11:00</Name>
    <Name>12:00</Name>
    <Name>13:00</Name>
    <Name>14:00</Name>
    <Name>15:00</Name>
    <Name>16:00</Name>
    <Name>17:00</Name>
    <Name>18:00</Name>
    <Name>19:00</Name>
</Hours_List>

<Days_List>
    <Number>5</Number>
    <Name>Monday</Name>
    <Name>Tuesday</Name>
    <Name>Wednesday</Name>
    <Name>Thursday</Name>
    <Name>Friday</Name>
</Days_List>
</time>

by xsd.exe and \dataset option , or drag xsd file directly in solution explorer and write this code

C#

Time t = new Time();
 t.ReadXml(@"E:\Time_check.xml");

error meassage appear when using dataset for this xsd schema
The same table 'Name' cannot be the child table in two nested relations.

how can i solve this problem ?
I want to handle this schema without
change "name" element to "hourName" and "dayName" for example or change "number" element to attribute,since another program (not open source) take generated XML file to deal with.

You could rename the nodes with XSLT and then read it in, and then rename them back when writing the output.

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" exclude-result-prefixes="msxsl">
    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:param name="parentElm">
      <xsl:value-of select="name(..)" />
    </xsl:param>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="local-name() = 'Name'">
        <xsl:element name="{concat('Name',$parentElm)}">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
        </xsl:element>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
          <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
          <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
        </xsl:element>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I took the XSLT example from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/397426/xsd-class-generation-nested-tables-problem[^]
