dotnet xml : Generating serializable class using XSD.exe
Hi
Serializable classes generated from xsd files using xsd.exe always uses an array? Is there any way to force xsd.exe to use collection (ArrayList or equivalent) classes instead of Array? is there any other tool that could be used? Thanks in advance Regards
Cross post ... YUCK!
you couldn't possibly include any other groups, could you ... check out David Cazzulino's blog for a work around. -- HTH Christoph Schittko [MVP] Software Architect, .NET Mentor [quoted text, click to view] "tushar" <tav_2000@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:u7zrWrJjDHA.1960@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Hi > > Serializable classes generated from xsd files using xsd.exe always uses an > array?

Hmm ..maybe I've been around for too long, but cross-posting's been a no no
for a long time. Anyway, unfortunately there is no way to generate Collections from xsd.exe -- although I wish that there was. If you are planning to generate the serialization classes as part of an automated build then you would have to process the output of xsd.exe through an extra little program that replaces the arrays using regular expressions. The expression is pretty straight forward integrating this modification into your build process will avoid any extra work if you ever have to rebuild your classes. -- HTH Christoph Schittko [MVP] Software Architect, .NET Mentor [quoted text, click to view] "tushar" <tav_2000@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uqE6zSZjDHA.708@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Christoph > > I checked David Cazzulino's blog but could not find the work around you > mentioned.

I checked David Cazzulino's blog but could not find the work around you mentioned. Anyway, thanks for your reply. I guess I will just write collection wrappers around source generated by xsd.exe. I am not a big user of news groups so was really not aware that posting message in multiple groups is that YUCK as you say! I was just tried to get max readers by posting in multiple groups.

You could also look at liquid technologies data binding wizard, it
creates strongly typed collection classes rather than arrays (in C#). http://www.liquid-technologies.com/ We've been using it for a bit now, and it seems pretty solid.

Thanks Chris for mentioning my post.
"tushar", you can use the technique I explained in weblog to modify XSD-like generated CodeDom and replace the arrays with ArrayLists, no problem there. I figure you could even get to generate a CollectionBase-inherited class. However, I don't know how the XmlSerializer would handle that change...
