XML Schema to C# Demonstration

This video demonstrates generating a C# object model from an XML Schema and using it to serialize and edit XML data in Microsoft Visual Studio.

What is Liquid XML Objects?

XML Data Binding enables you to load XML Documents into a strongly typed object model within your C# or Visual Basic .Net source code.

Meaning fewer coding errors, reduced development and testing time, and an increase in schema conformance and coding reliability.

Liquid XML Objects Features

  • Fully Integrated as a Microsoft Visual Studio extension.
  • Generates an easy to use class library for C# and Visual Basic .Net.
  • Replace xsd.exe with better XSD 1.0 support and adds support for XSD 1.1.
  • Generate simple light weight classes which follow the structure of the XML.
  • Supports .Net Core, .Net Standard and .Net Framework
  • Supports W3C XML Schema for XSD 1.0 and XSD 1.1 standards.
  • Supports SchemaSets containing multiple schemas and namespaces.
  • Support for the most complex XML standards.
  • Royalty free distribution of compiled code and runtime.


 Quick Start Guide

Advanced XML Code Generator for C# and Visual Basic .Net

Microsoft Visual Studio Integration

Generate Code from Visual Studio Solution

Once added, you can generate XML data binding code from your XSD in your .Net project from the Visual Studio Solution Explorer.

Liquid XML Objects provides a direct replacement for Microsoft Visual Studio's xsd.exe with better XSD 1.0 standard support and support for W3C XSD 1.1.

The XML Objects generator is integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio. Simply add an .xsd file to your C# or Visual Basic .Net project and right click the generate button. The XML Object code will automatically be generated and added into your project. Changes to the generation settings or the source XSD will cause the XML Object code to be re-generated.

Liquid XML Objects supports integration with:

Light weight code

The generated XML Object code is extremely light weight, containing only attributed classes and properties mapped from the source XSD. The compiled .dlls typically being smaller than the source XSD's.

Embedded XSD Source Code

The compiled assembly contains the original XSD source code which can be used to validate XML documents, providing a definitive pre or post validation step (See Validation Using XML Schemas).

Documentation

Documentation is read from the source XSD xs:annotations and embedded into the generated XML Object source code as structured comments. Free .Net Documentation tools such Sandcastle and Doxygen can then produce CHM or Html documentation.

Platform Support

  • .Net Standard 2.0 and later
  • .Net Core 2.0 and later
  • .Net Framework 4.0 and later
