Generating xml dataset classes programmatically

Jun 14 2007 8:51 PM

In the VS command prompt that is part of the VS SDK you can enter the following to generate an xsd file from an xml file:

      xsd XMLfilename.xml

This will generate an xsd file with the same name as the xml file

Then you can enter:

    xsd [.xsd file generated from above]  /d  /language:CS

This will generate a .cs file with the same name as the .xml and .xsd from above.  In your program you can then load the xml file into a dataset in memory and query it programmatically using the class that was generated for that xml file.

I am searching for a way to perform the above steps programmatically rather than using the command prompt.
