I want to parse a complex XML schema file and export to a C# file.
Do I need take use System.XML.Schema namespace?

2Given that you are parsing XML it would make sense to use that part of the framework but it's by no means mandatory. Go give it a try and if you get stuck then come back, show what you are doing, describe how it's not working and I'm sure you'll get some help.Lazarus– Lazarus2009-11-12 12:59:58 +00:00Commented Nov 12, 2009 at 12:59

You can use XSD.EXE, and the command will be something like this:
XSD.EXE your.xsd /c
The generated source has a couple of quirks:
- It generates
[SerializableAttribute],[XmlTypeAttribute],[XmlRootAttribute], etc., rather than[DataContract]and[DataMember], which may (not) be a problem for you. - It defines child/detail structures using arrays within, rather than generic
List<T>structures.
I usually have to tweak it fairly heavily (with a few search & replace operations), plus manually handling the lists. Regardless, it provides a good starting point.

Hi Sir Mike, Good day. I followed your command from .net 2.0 SDK command line, and i generated my C# file from my XSD file successfully. I am research more about my new C# file. thank you. Nano
You need to use the XSD tool. It does have limitations but it is free and likely already on your system.
If you need bigger and costlier guns I'd suggest Liquid Xml Studio or Altova.
