I installed this on my windows 7 32 bit machine and it got installed to the c:\ root folder.

xidius — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:48:53 GMT

I'm using modified 3.4 version of xsd2code( for my needs).
I can share with everybody following things:

- VS 2012 Install Shield Limited Edition Project - empty install project only/ Installer with my Version of xsd2code/  Or  full solution sources  wich i was tested and updated for myself, when i use this  tool with silverlight. The only agreement in limited edition is that we will need to register in GAC Xsd2Code.Library.dll.

There is the problem with direct installer conversion to VS 2012 - Custom tool doesn't work. But i found decision, if it's interesting for somebody more detailed it described here

New Post: Is possible to use the import tag instead of include tag in an xsd file and compile it with sxd2code?

RedBass — Thu, 02 May 2013 07:50:53 GMT

I need to create an object model composed by separated files with different namespace, and include some third-part xsd.

When i try to use the import in an xsd and execute xsd2code, i receive an error like the one specified in the issue - ExcludeIncludedTypes generate error if xsd use import tag.

Anyone can help?

New Post: Attributes and nullable types

pricerc — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 23:04:35 GMT

I wouldn't normally necro a thread, but I've just started using this library, and encountered this same problem.

An attribute is optional (nullable) by default, unless use="required" is specified in the schema:

http://www.w3schools.com/schema/el_attribute.asp

So surely attributes should generate nullable types by default?

New Post: XSD2Code problem with namespace

mkost — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 06:40:52 GMT

I am using XSD2Code to generate C# class from XSD file.

I got stuck with the following problem.

XML file looks something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Notification xmlns="http://message.domain.com">
  <Object xmlns="http://type.domain.com" ID="97440" />
</Notification>

XML gets succefsully deserialized when xmls for Object is empty. But when there is a value like in the sample above, I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

What could cause this error?

New Post: Array of Objects vs Object with Array

SteLoe — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:52:01 GMT

Hello,

I generate Csharp code from an XSD file.
The xsd contains an ComplexType "WorkspaceDefinition", that has, amongst others, an element "Domains" from type "ArrayOfDomain". This type is also defined in the XSD. It contains a sequence from type "Domain".

My problem:
In the resulting Csharp code the Class "WorkspaceDefinition" contains a Parameter from type "List<Domain>". What I would expext it to have is a Parameter from type "ArrayOfDomain".
The class "ArrayOfDomain" is generated in the CSharp file, but never referenced.

Is this a Problem in the xsd2code configuration?

The xsd:

<xs:complexType name="WorkspaceDefinition">
    ...
      <xs:element name="Domains" type="esri:ArrayOfDomain">
        <xs:annotation>
          <xs:documentation>The list of Domains.</xs:documentation>
        </xs:annotation>
      </xs:element>
   ...
  </xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfDomain">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>Generic array of objects.</xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Domain" type="esri:Domain" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Domain" abstract="true">
    <xs:annotation>
      <xs:documentation>
        Domain Properties control and their merge split policies control.
      </xs:documentation>
    </xs:annotation>
   ...
  </xs:complexType>

The resulting Csharp Code:

public partial class WorkspaceDefinition {
        
        private esriWorkspaceType workspaceTypeField;
        
        private string versionField;
        
        private List<Domain> domainsField;
        
        private List<DataElement> datasetDefinitionsField;
        
        private XmlPropertySet metadataField;
        
        public WorkspaceDefinition() {
            this.metadataField = new XmlPropertySet();
            this.datasetDefinitionsField = new List<DataElement>();
            this.domainsField = new List<Domain>();
        }
        
       ...
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, IsNullable=false)]
        public List<Domain> Domains {
            get {
                return this.domainsField;
            }
            set {
                this.domainsField = value;
            }
        }
        
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlArrayItemAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, IsNullable=false)]
        public List<DataElement> DatasetDefinitions {
            get {
                return this.datasetDefinitionsField;
            }
            set {
                this.datasetDefinitionsField = value;
            }
        }
        
        public XmlPropertySet Metadata {
            get {
                return this.metadataField;
            }
            set {
                this.metadataField = value;
            }
        }
    }

public partial class ArrayOfDomain {
        
        private List<Domain> domainField;
        
        public ArrayOfDomain() {
            this.domainField = new List<Domain>();
        }
        
        public List<Domain> Domain {
            get {
                return this.domainField;
            }
            set {
                this.domainField = value;
            }

Is it possible to change the default settings of this so I don't have to change the settings every time I want to make a new generated file?

New Post: Constructor with parameters

medwed_1 — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 15:19:17 GMT

Hello, all.

I use xsd2xode first time and I have a question.
Can I get constructor with parameters?
I got next code:

public class Class1
{
    private List<string> list1;
    public Class1()
    {
        list1 = new List<string>();
    }
}

How can I get something like this?

public class Class1
{
    private List<string> list1;
    public Class1(List<string> list1)
    {
        this.list1 = list1;
    }
}

Thanks a lot.

New Post: Visual Studio 2012 add-in support

rglide — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:35:30 GMT

Thanks Guys this worked great. Here is how to do it if you are not too familiar with Visual Studio. Go to or search for the Xsd2Code.addin file after you have installed it on a 2008 or 2010 visual studio. Once you have found that file copy it to the location specified in your Tools->Options->Add-in Security location or in my case I added a Folder under my Documents->Visual Studio 2012 folder called Addins and then added that location to the Add-in Security. After added the file or adding the location where the file is, close Visual Studio 2012. Now open xsd2Code.addin file ( I used NotePad++) with any editor you wish and change the 9 or 10 in the node to an 11 like stated above. Now open up Visual Studio 2012 and open a project with an XSD, right click on it and there you go, you should see Run Xsd2Code Gerneration.

New Post: Visual Studio AddIn not showing, a workaround

ppshoo — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:06:39 GMT

My environment Window7 - VS2010 SP1. After trying all possibilities, the simplest solution works for me

Find where xsd2code installs the Add in => Possible in c:\users[YourName]\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Addins or c:\Visual Studio 2010\Addins
In Visual Studio. Go to Tools->Options->Add-in/Macros Security->Add
Find the path of AddIns and add to this option.
Restart your computer.
The "Run Xsd2Code generation" will be available when you right click on .Xsd

New Post: Is there any way to set XmlWriterSettings.Indent to true by default?

sergeyku4er — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 13:48:33 GMT

I am a huge fan of xsd2code framework ! My question is about the ouptut format of the product of .SaveToFile method by default I have the output file as a long line of text , it happens because in the generated code of Serialize method xmlWriterSettings.Indent is not set to true, my question is is there a way to configure it from xsd2code api/gui ...?

New Post: How to write out XML

greenmodulus — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:57:56 GMT

Of course as soon as I posted, I guessed that the serialization wasn't set. It looks like that is turned off by default. I regenerated the code and turned it on. You then do root.Serialize() and it spits out the XML.

New Post: How to write out XML

greenmodulus — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 22:52:49 GMT

I am using this to made a C# class from an XSD. Then I use that to populate the XML via the created objects. Once it is populated, I want to write the result out to XML. In LinqToXSD, you just said topElement.ToString() and all the XML was there. In Xsd2Code, that just writes out the type of the root element.

How do I take the root element of the C# class with all its subobjects and convert it to the raw XML?

I had a similar problem and found out that annotations are not rendered into summary comments when the annotated element is a child of an <xs:all/> element.

New Post: I think I may have found a bug with XSD Enum support???

ESSB — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:37:46 GMT

Hi,

Just been playing around with Enums in XSDs and I notice that while enums are created in the destination class, the private fields were not.

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, Order=3)]
        public virtual PersonMaritalStatus MaritalStatus {
            get {
                return this.maritalStatusField; //Field not created
            }
            set {
                this.maritalStatusField = value;
            }
        }

Thoughts...??

New Post: Validation Data Annotations and XSD2Code.....

ESSB — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 11:21:04 GMT

Hi,

What is the best way to use Data Annotation Validations with XSD2Code generated classes. Obviously one can create buddy classes and manually add the annotations, but there must be a better method. I did look in nuget for some form of buddy class scaffolder, but could only find one that read EDMX files for EF classes.

Also this also asks the question as to whether it would or could be possible to define validation in the XSD Schema file via facets and have these validations carried across into the .NET class as Validation Data Annoations. I think they are called "restrictions", and one can set minimum length for values etc. Also one can set patterns for valid data, basically all good schema validation functionality.
