The following table shows the attributes that can be used with the element. The generated DataSet structures will support LINQ queries.

The following XML specifies that the generated codeÂ uses DataSet structures (such as the DataTable class) to create Visual Basic code for a specified element. You can also control how DataSet code is generated by using the element. One of the following values: none, properties (generates properties instead of public fields), order, or enableDataBinding (see the /order and/enableDataBinding switches in the preceding XSD File Options section. The namespace must conform to CLR standards (for example, no spaces or backslash characters). Specifies the namespace for the generated code. You can also specify a fully qualified name for a class that implements CodeDomProvider. Choose from CS (C#, the default), VB (Visual Basic), JS (JScript), or VJS (Visual J#). Specifies the programming language to use. The following table shows the attributes that can also be used with the element. Options you can set for the element include the following. Note that two attributes are also shown that allow you to set the programming language and namespace of the generated file. The following example generates a code file. To generate a code file, use the element.

You must specify only one of the following options for the element. Type the following at a command prompt (presuming the XML file is named GenerateSchemaFromType.xml): On the other hand, if you are generating a schema for a single type found in the assembly, you can use the following XML:īut to use preceding code, you must also supply the name of the assembly at the command prompt. If the preceding XML is contained in a file named GenerateSchemas.xml, then use the /parameters switch by typing the following at a command prompt and pressing ENTER: The following XML shows how to use the element with a specified executable: For example, you can set the element to the name of an executable (.exe) or type library (.dll) file when generating a schema, but not when generating a code file. Choices include generating schemas, generating code files, or generating code files that include DataSet features. The options you can set depend on how you are using the XSD.exe tool. By using the /parameters switch, you can specify a single XML file that sets various options.
