NAME

   xsd - Mono's utility for generating schema or class files

SYNOPSIS

   xsd <schema.xsd> /classes [options]

   xsd <schema.xsd> /dataset [options]

   xsd <assembly>.dll|<assembly>.exe [options]

   xsd <instance.xml> [<instance.xml> ...] [options]

DESCRIPTION

   xsd  is a tool for intended to complement the XML serialization support
   of Mono. It can do the following tasks:

   Generate serializable classes
          From a given XML schema, generate a class that can  be  used  to
          read  and write xml documents that conform that schema (/classes
          option).

   Generate typed datasets
          From a given XML schema, generate a typed DataSet class that can
          be used to read and write xml documents that conform that schema
          (/dataset option).

   Generate XML schemas
          From a given assembly and an optional type name, generate an XML
          schema  that  can be used to validate the xml documents that can
          be obtained by serializing objects of that type. If no  type  is
          provided,  xsd generates a schema for all types in the assembly.
          When specifying the  assembly  name  do  not  include  the  file
          extension  (.dll  or .exe). xsd will look for the assembly using
          the standard assembly loading rules.

   Infer XML schemas
          From a given set of XML documents, infer the XML schema that can
          be used to validate those documents.

OPTIONS

   The following options are available:

   /element:name /e:name
          Specifies  the  name of the XML schema element for which a class
          or a dataset has to be generated.

   /namespace:name /n:name
          Specifies the namespace of the  XML  schema  element  for
          which a class or a dataset has to be generated.

   /language:name /l:name
          Specifies   the  programming  language  to  use  for  the
          generated code. The only supported languages are CS  (C#)
          and VB (Visual Basic.NET).

   /generator:type,assembly /g:type,assembly
          Indicates   xsd.exe  to  use  custom  CodeDomProvider  to
          generate code. The type name must be full name.  Assembly
          name is a local file name that is going to be loaded. The
          specified Type must have the default constructor.

   /outputdir:path /o:path
          Specifies the directory where to  generate  the  code  or
          schemas.

   /type:name /t:name
          Specifies the full name of the type (including namespace)
          for which to generate the XML schema.

   /help /h
          Show usage help.
