Answer 1

Hi Jagadeesh,

Use XSD.exe to generate CS from schema.

XSD.exe generates runtime classes from an XSD schema file. The generated classes can be used in conjunction with System.XML.Serialization.XMLSerializer to read and write XML code that follows the schema.

In your case, use something like this:

xsd <<Schema from which you want to gerernate *.cs files>> /c

EX: xsd SchemaName.xsd /c

Try this MSDN-Link, to learn more about the XSD.exe commands.
