I just checked out the XML Spy class generator this morning on a teeny tiny itty bitty schema and was astounded at the # of classes it generated. Talk about code separation. Yucch!

My schema is huge and is spread across several files. With XmlSpy I generated well in excess of 1000 classes. Even with that, I had to do some cleaning in order to make the resulting project compile. Anyway, I will try this small GUI tool you recommend. It's good to know something like this is available out there. Thanks Georg for your message. Danke!!!

To get those classes to/from XML you then just use the XmlSerializer class. Adam.. > -----Original Message----- > From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.
