I'm writing a library that will accept an XML string as input which it will deserialize and do some transformations on. The output will be a separate XML file with a different schema.
This internal XML will be following an internal Schema, which I do not wish to expose to the user of the library. The schema is defined in an XSD file in my project which I use XSD.exe (the one that comes bundled with Visual Studio) to create C# classes from.
The problem I have is that XSD.exe generates public
classes. I would want them to be implicit or explicit internal
.
Is there anyway I can make XSD.exe create internal
classes?
No, it won't create internal
classes. Classes output by XSD.EXE are intended to be serialized by the XMLSerializer
. The XMLSerializer
only supports public classes and thus if XSD output internal
classes, serialization would fail.
