Hi, Until now, I've always used the XsdTask (from NantContrib) to generate my typed datasets from xml schemas. I've found that using this this task has several disadvantages:
* You can't use filesets to generate datasets from a collections of xml schemas. Since my entire build environment is based on generic buildfiles which are included in each project-specific buildfile, this is a major pain. * The xsdtask does not check if the sources are up to date; it always generates the datasets. Actually, this issue is more related to xsd.exe itself. * It's pretty slow, since it's based on the execution of an external executable. To fix this, I've created my own TypedDataSetGenerator task, which is based on the TypedDataSetGenerator found in the System.Data assembly. While it overlaps somewhat with the XsdTask (which can do more than generate datasets), it does solve the above metioned issues. If there's interest, I could post this task to the list. I'm not sure whether it should be placed in Nant.DotNetTasks or NantContrib, though. I've also started work on making filesets referentialable(?), which means that one could use a ref attribute to denote another fileset marked with an ID attribute. Expect patches next week.
