12/05/2006

The XML Schema Definition (Xsd.exe) tool generates XML schema or common language runtime classes from XDR, XML, and XSD files, or from classes in a runtime assembly.

xsd file.xdr [/outputdir:directory][/parameters:file.xml]
xsd file.xml [/outputdir:directory] [/parameters:file.xml]
xsd file.xsd {/classes | /dataset} [/element:element]
             [/language:language] [/namespace:namespace]
             [/outputdir:directory] [URI:uri] [/parameters:file.xml]
xsd {file.dll | file.exe} [/outputdir:directory] [/type:typename [...]][/parameters:file.xml]

Argument

Argument	Description
file.extension	Specifies the input file to convert. You must specify the extension as one of the following: .xdr, .xml, .xsd, .dll, or .exe. If you specify an XDR schema file (.xdr extension), Xsd.exe converts the XDR schema to an XSD schema. The output file has the same name as the XDR schema, but with the .xsd extension. If you specify an XML file (.xml extension), Xsd.exe infers a schema from the data in the file and produces an XSD schema. The output file has the same name as the XML file, but with the .xsd extension. If you specify an XML schema file (.xsd extension), Xsd.exe generates source code for runtime objects that correspond to the XML schema. If you specify a runtime assembly file (.exe or .dll extension), Xsd.exe generates schemas for one or more types in that assembly. You can use the /type option to specify the types for which to generate schemas. The output schemas are named schema0.xsd, schema1.xsd, and so on. Xsd.exe produces multiple schemas only if the given types specify a namespace using the XMLRoot custom attribute.

file.extension

Specifies the input file to convert. You must specify the extension as one of the following: .xdr, .xml, .xsd, .dll, or .exe.

If you specify an XDR schema file (.xdr extension), Xsd.exe converts the XDR schema to an XSD schema. The output file has the same name as the XDR schema, but with the .xsd extension.

If you specify an XML file (.xml extension), Xsd.exe infers a schema from the data in the file and produces an XSD schema. The output file has the same name as the XML file, but with the .xsd extension.

If you specify an XML schema file (.xsd extension), Xsd.exe generates source code for runtime objects that correspond to the XML schema.

If you specify a runtime assembly file (.exe or .dll extension), Xsd.exe generates schemas for one or more types in that assembly. You can use the /type option to specify the types for which to generate schemas. The output schemas are named schema0.xsd, schema1.xsd, and so on. Xsd.exe produces multiple schemas only if the given types specify a namespace using the XMLRoot custom attribute.

General Options

Option	Description
/h[elp]	Displays command syntax and options for the tool.
/o[utputdir]:directory	Specifies the directory for output files. This argument can appear only once. The default is the current directory.
/?	Displays command syntax and options for the tool.
/P[arameters]:file.xml	Read options for various operation modes from the specified .xml file. The short form is '/p:'. For more information, see the following Remarks section.

XSD File Options

You must specify only one of the following options for .xsd files.

Option	Description
/c[lasses]	Generates classes that correspond to the specified schema. To read XML data into the object, use the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.Deserializer method.
/d[ataset]	Generates a class derived from DataSet that corresponds to the specified schema. To read XML data into the derived class, use the System.Data.DataSet.ReadXml method.

You can also specify any of the following options for .xsd files.

Option	Description
/e[lement]:element	Specifies the element in the schema to generate code for. By default all elements are typed. You can specify this argument more than once.
/enableDataBinding	Implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface on all generated types to enable data binding. The short form is '/edb'.
/f[ields]	Generates fields instead of properties. By default, properties are generated.
/l[anguage]:language	Specifies the programming language to use. Choose from CS (C#, which is the default), VB (Visual Basic), JS (JScript), or VJS (Visual J#). You can also specify a fully qualified name for a class implementing System.CodeDom.Compiler.CodeDomProvider
/n[amespace]:namespace	Specifies the runtime namespace for the generated types. The default namespace is Schemas.
/nologo	Suppresses the banner.
/order	Generates explicit order identifiers on all particle members.
/o[ut]:directoryName	Specifies the output directory to place the files in. The default is the current directory.
/u[ri]:uri	Specifies the URI for the elements in the schema to generate code for. This URI, if present, applies to all elements specified with the /element option.

DLL and EXE File Options

Option	Description
/t[ype]:typename	Specifies the name of the type to create a schema for. You can specify multiple type arguments. If typename does not specify a namespace, Xsd.exe matches all types in the assembly with the specified type. If typename specifies a namespace, only that type is matched. If typename ends with an asterisk character (), the tool matches all types that start with the string preceding the . If you omit the /type option, Xsd.exe generates schemas for all types in the assembly.

/t[ype]:typename

Specifies the name of the type to create a schema for. You can specify multiple type arguments. If typename does not specify a namespace, Xsd.exe matches all types in the assembly with the specified type. If typename specifies a namespace, only that type is matched. If typename ends with an asterisk character (*), the tool matches all types that start with the string preceding the *. If you omit the /type option, Xsd.exe generates schemas for all types in the assembly.

Remarks

The following table shows the operations that Xsd.exe performs.

XDR to XSD
Generates an XML schema from an XML-Data-Reduced schema file. XDR is an early XML-based schema format.

XML to XSD
Generates an XML schema from an XML file.

XSD to DataSet
Generates common language runtime DataSet classes from an XSD schema file. The generated classes provide a rich object model for regular XML data.

XSD to Classes
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.

Classes to XSD
Generates an XML schema from a type or types in a runtime assembly file. The generated schema defines the XML format used by System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.

Xsd.exe only allows you to manipulate XML schemas that follow the XML Schema Definition (XSD) language proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). For more information on the XML Schema Definition proposal or the XML standard, see http://w3.org.

Setting Options with an XML File

By using the /parameters switch, you can specify a single XML file that sets various options. The options you can set depend on how you are using the XSD.exe tool. Choices include generating schemas, generating code files, or generating code files that include DataSet features. For example, you can set the <assembly> element to the name of an executable (.exe) or type library (.dll) file when generating a schema, but not when generating a code file. The following XML shows how to use the <generateSchemas> element with a specified executable:

<!-- This is in a file named GenerateSchemas.xml. -->
<xsd xmlns='https://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/'>
<generateSchemas>
   <assembly>ConsoleApplication1.exe</assembly>
</generateSchemas>
</xsd>

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:

xsd /p:GenerateSchemas.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:

<!-- This is in a file named GenerateSchemaFromType.xml. -->
<xsd xmlns='https://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/'>
<generateSchemas>
   <type>IDItems</type>
</generateSchemas>
</xsd>

But to use preceding code, you must also supply the name of the assembly at the command prompt. Type the following at a command prompt (presuming the XML file is named GenerateSchemaFromType.xml):

xsd /p:GenerateSchemaFromType.xml ConsoleApplication1.exe

You must specify only one of the following options for the <generateSchemas> element.

Element	Description
<assembly>	Specifies an assembly to generate the schema from.
<type>	Specifies a type found in an assembly to generate a schema for.
<xml>	Specifies an XML file to generate a schema for.
<xdr>	Specifies an XDR file to generate a schema for.

To generate a code file, use the <generateClasses> element. The following example generates a code file. Note that two attributes are also shown that allow you to set the programming language and namespace of the generated file.

<xsd xmlns='https://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/'>
<generateClasses language='VB' namespace='Microsoft.Serialization.Examples'/>
</xsd>
<!-- You must supply an .xsd file when typing in the command line.-->
<!-- For example: xsd /p:genClasses mySchema.xsd -->

Options you can set for the <generateClasses> element include the following.

Element	Description
<element>	Specifies an element in the .xsd file to generate code for.
<schemaImporterExtensions>	Specifies a type derived from the SchemaImporterExtension class.

The following table shows the attributes that can also be used with the <generateClasses> element.

Attribute	Description
language	Specifies the programming language to use. Choose from CS (C#, the default), VB (Visual Basic), JS (JScript), or VJS (Visual J#). You can also specify a fully qualified name for a class that implements CodeDomProvider.
namespace	Specifies the namespace for the generated code. The namespace must conform to CLR standards (for example, no spaces or backslash characters).
options	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.

You can also control how DataSet code is generated by using the <generateDataSets> element. The following XML specifies that the generated code uses DataSet structures (such as the DataTable class) to create Visual Basic code for a specified element.

<xsd xmlns='https://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/'>

<generateDataSet language='VB' namespace='Microsoft.Serialization.Examples'>

<element>IDItems</element>

</generateDataSet>

</xsd>

Options you can set for the <generateDataSet> element include the following.

Element	Description
<element>	Specifies an element in the .xsd file to generate code for.

The following table shows the attributes that can be used with the <generateDataSet> element.

Attribute	Description
language	Specifies the programming language to use. Choose from CS (C#, the default), VB (Visual Basic), JS (JScript), or VJS (Visual J#). You can also specify a fully qualified name for a class that implements CodeDomProvider.
namespace	Specifies the namespace for the generated code. The namespace must conform to CLR standards (for example, no spaces or backslash characters).

There are attributes that you can set on the top level <xsd> element. These options can be used with any of the child elements (<generateSchemas>, <generateClasses> or <generateDataSet>). The following XML code generates code for an element named "IDItems" in the output directory named "MyOutputDirectory".

<xsd xmlns='https://microsoft.com/dotnet/tools/xsd/' output='MyOutputDirectory'>
<generateClasses>
<element>IDItems</element>
</generateClasses>
</xsd>

The following table shows the attributes that can also be used with the <xsd> element.

Attribute	Description
output	The name of a directory where the generated schema or code file will be placed.
nologo	Suppresses the banner. Set to true or false.
help	Displays command syntax and options for the tool. Set to true or false.
