I've read that it is possible to run xsd commands right in visual studio (2010). I have VS 2012 on my machine and when I run
xsd XMLFile.xml
I get
Command "xsd" is not valid.
So, is the "xsd" command not supposted in VS 2012 and is there any other way to execute "xsd" in VS 2012?
The Command window is used to execute commands or aliases directly in the Visual Studio integrated development environment (IDE). You can execute both menu commands and commands that do not appear on any menu. To display the Command window, choose Other Windows from the View menu, and select Command Window.
xsd.exe is available from the 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2012, not the command window that is part of the VS2012 IDE.
The 'Developer Command Prompt for VS2012' itself can be started from Start Menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 -> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio Command Prompt For VS2012
Under Visual Studio 2012, there is a feature called Past Special which generate the class from an xml file.
See here: Paste XML or JSON as classes in Visual Studio.
Note that this feature requires at least .NET 4.5.
