Creating an XML file from a xsd Schema at runtime

Question

I'm trying to create an xml report of the settings of a test. My program is a testing suite and I would like to know the information it runs with, and present it in xml format.

I have an xml schema written in w3c saved in an xsd file. Ideally I would like to generate the xml directly from the schema, so if a change occurs in the program, only the schema needs to be changed to change the resulting report.

This involves creating the xml directly from the schema, I am really not sure how to do this, or if its even possible without tons of work.

Let me lay it out again for clarity.

I have an xsd file that is a schema. I want to use this schema to generate an xml from a function call in my program. So it takes the schema and gives me a matching xml file with the fields filled in with the values of my variables.

I hope this is clear, let me know if this is even possible.

I am in vb.net, using visual studio 2005. I think its vb version 2.0 or 2.5

You can reuse XmlSampleGenerator from Generating XML Documents from XML Schemas
