First there was Chris Sells wonderful custom tool "XsdClassesGen" (SBXsdClassesGenerator - see http://www.sellsbrothers.com/tools/#xsdClassesGen) for VS2003. Stephane Tombeur helpfully got this working in VS2005 (see http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/appeng/archive/2004/11/04/31021.aspx). What about VS2008? Isn't this something that MS should be including? It seems to me that generating class code (as opposed to dataset code) from a schema is fairly fundamental. Afaik, the "xsd" tool has supported it from the beginning. Why can't this be built into the IDE? Am I missing something? Thoughts? Comments? Thanks! Brad. |

It's not very fundamental in my experience. I've done it twice in the last several years. In both cases, it was to generate classes to be used to fill in the <detail> element of a SOAP Fault. Other than that, I haven't needed this functionality. I simply created a post-build event to run xsd.exe. -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer "Bradley Plett" <plettb@newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message news:3vodb4tua080ju8ljv9vgdg5ss4n9f8qcu@4ax.com... > First there was Chris Sells wonderful custom tool "XsdClassesGen" > (SBXsdClassesGenerator - see > http://www.sellsbrothers.com/tools/#xsdClassesGen) for VS2003. > Stephane Tombeur helpfully got this working in VS2005 (see > http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/appeng/archive/2004/11/04/31021.aspx). > What about VS2008?
