Generating XML file using XSD file

Suppose we have Test.xsd file that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="MyClass">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element name="Field1"
                    type="xs:string"/>
        <xs:element name="Field2"
                    type="xs:string"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

1. Create classes using xsd tool:

   xsd.exe /classes Test.xsd
   

   This will generate Test.cs file.

2. Add Test.cs file to your solution.

3. Create instance of MyClass, defined in XSD schema and XmlSerialize it:

   using System.Xml.Serialization;
   // ...
   var data = new MyClass { Field1 = "test1", Field2 = "test2" };
   var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(MyClass));
   using (var stream = new StreamWriter("C:\\test.xml"))
       serializer.Serialize(stream, data);
   

Result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<MyClass xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Field1>test1</Field1>
  <Field2>test2</Field2>
</MyClass>
