Loading XML with code, generated by XSD2Code

Question

I am having trouble to get the code, generated by XSD2Code, to load a supposedly valid xml file.

My test case involves generating C# code for the KML version 2.2.0 schema and trying to load a sample KML file with it.

The exception occuring during this test is the following:

System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.KmlType'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'NetworkLinkControl'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.NetworkLinkControlType'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'Update'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.UpdateType'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'Items'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.DeleteType'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'Items'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.PlacemarkType'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'author'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting type 'XSDTest.atomPersonConstruct'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : There was an error reflecting property 'Items'.
----> System.InvalidOperationException : Type of choice identifier 'ItemsElementName' is inconsistent with type of 'Items'. Please use array of System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[XSDTest.ItemsChoiceType, XSDTest, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]].

This happens while creating the XML serializer, within the auto generated code:

new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(KmlType))

When creating the code with XSD2Code, I only changed 3 valeus from their default value of false, to true: Serialization.Enabled, Serialization.EnableEncoding and Serialization.GenerateXmlAttributes.

I am not looking for alternatives as far as loading KML with C# is concerned, but I am looking at a way to automatically generated C# code from a valid schema. It doesn't need to be XSD2Code, so in case there's something more appropriate, feel free to suggest that.

Thanks for your help

Try to set ChoiceIdentifier value to 'array' instead of 'list' in the XSD2Code parameters.

I'm using Xml2Code 3.4, and can't find ChoiceIdentifier in the options. Has it been renamed? – voxoid Feb 14 '19 at 16:29
We use XSD2CODE here, not XML2CODE. – Eric Bole-Feysot Feb 19 '19 at 09:20
