I have a file in XSD format. How can I convert it to a C# class?
I need class reference in other web applications where I need to make post call as per below:
var res = client.Post<Customer>("/customers", c );
You can open XSD files in Pattern Maker Viewer 4, Cross Stitch Saga, or Cross Stitch Paradise.
XSD is a schema language; you use it to define the possible structure and contents of an XML format. A validating parser can then check whether an XML instance document conforms to an XSD schema or a set of schemas.
Use the XML Schema Definition Tool xsd.exe
found in your framework tools to convert your schema into a serializable class or dataset.
xsd file.xsd {/classes | /dataset} [/element:element] [/language:language] [/namespace:namespace] [/outputdir:directory] [URI:uri]
And in example, whereas the C# class will be generated in the same directory as the xsd tool:
xsd /c YourFile.xsd
you can do like this...
<xsd xmlns='http://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/'> <generateClasses language='CS' namespace='Namespace.subnamespace'> <schema>FirstSchema.xsd</schema> <schema>AnotherSchema.xsd</schema> <schema>LastSchema.xsd</schema> </generateClasses> </xsd>
