Generate class from xml

Using XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe)

I needed to write code that maps data in xml to my cs file.
I know that that xsd can generate this.

Lets do it step by step.

Generate definition file


C:\test\1>xsd AttachFileHandler.xml
Microsoft (R) Xml Schemas/DataTypes support utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 4.0.30319.17929]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Writing file 'C:\test\1\AttachFileHandler.xsd'.

Generate class: 

c:\test\1>xsd /classes /language:CS AttachFileHandler.xsd
Microsoft (R) Xml Schemas/DataTypes support utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 4.0.30319.17929]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Writing file 'c:\test\1\AttachFileHandler.cs'.

Generate dataset

C:\test\1>xsd /dataset /language:CS AttachFileHandler.xsd
Microsoft (R) Xml Schemas/DataTypes support utility
[Microsoft (R) .NET Framework, Version 4.0.30319.17929]
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Writing file 'C:\test\1\AttachFileHandler.cs'.

 Final result


C:\test\1>dir

 Directory of C:\test\1

09/05/2013  12:11    <DIR>          .
09/05/2013  12:11    <DIR>          ..
09/05/2013  12:11           468,262 AttachFileHandler.cs
09/05/2013  12:05             2,746 AttachFileHandler.xml
09/05/2013  12:11             8,374 AttachFileHandler.xsd

Result => just extract of generated data
