Liquid XML Data Binding Wizard provides a Windows User Interface that allows you to generate data binding code from your XML Schema files. As you move through the Wizard you can select configuration options that will determine how the code is generated.

The Wizard operates in two modes, Liquid XML Objects and Liquid XML Data Binder.

Liquid XML Objects

Liquid XML Objects is the next generation of XML Data Binding tool supporting binding of XSD 1.0 and XSD 1.1 to C# and Visual Basic .Net.

Liquid XML Objects enables you to generate your code in 3 ways:

• Directly from Microsoft Visual Studio - we recommend you simply add your XSD to a Microsoft Visual Studio project and right click in the Solution Explorer to generate 'code behind' class files.
• Use the command line executable LXO.exe as part of your build script.
• Use the Wizard to produce an .lxo project file.

The Wizard stores your selected options in a project file that has the same name as your XML Schema file with the file extension of '.lxo'.

The Wizard provides the following steps to generate a code library:

1. Create or Open a Wizard Project
2. Select an Output Language
3. Select XML Schemas
4. Select Language Options
5. Select Output Options
6. Code Generator
