The need for Visual XSD
xsd.exe is an excellent XML Schema Definition tool, it generates XML schema or common language runtime classes from XDR, XML, and XSD files, or from classes in a runtime assembly. The xsd.exe program is delivered as a part of Microsoft Visual Studio.
The xsd.exe program only exist as a command line utility, something which is unnatural for developers that are used to work in a IDE/graphical environment.
The purpose of the Visual XSD program, is simply to fill this gap, and give developers easier and faster access to the xsd.exe program.
What does Visual XSD offer?
- An easy to use and intuitive user interface (as opposed to a command line utility).
- It exposes all the functionality from the xsd.exe program, in fact Visual XSD only serves as a front and is using xsd.exe to actually execute the generation.
- Visual XSD can easy be integrated in Visual Studio, this gives the user the possibility to stay in a familiar environment.
