Create XSD from XML in Code

Question

I am using this piece of code from MSDN to create an XSD from an XML

XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("contosoBooks.xml");
XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet();
XmlSchemaInference schema = new XmlSchemaInference();

schemaSet = schema.InferSchema(reader);

foreach (XmlSchema s in schemaSet.Schemas())
{
   textbox.text = s.ToString();
}

I want to output the .xsd based on my xml file. When I generate the .xsd file, the only content I get inside it is: System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema

When I generate the XSD using Visual Studio option to create Schema, it comes out properly. However, I have over 150 xml docs that I need to create XSD for hence need a programmatic option. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I use this command line:

Administrator:Developer Command Prompt for VS2013

Create xsd file from xml:

xsd FullFilePath.xml /outputdir:myOutputDir

Generate object to represent that xsd file in our project.

xsd /c /n:myNameSpace FullPath\fileName.xsd

then it will tell where the .cs file is created.
