xsd.exe generate only one class file

Question

I use command for NetFX 4.5.1 Tools from Microsoft SDK:

xsd schema.xsd /c

It generates only one class which have all the structure (schema.cs). But i need set of classes which structure described in schema.xsd. For example: Application.cs, Applicant.cs and so on, like I have after JAXB classes generating in Eclipse.

Here is part of schema.xsd code:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- edited with XMLSpy v2011 rel. 2 -->
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" version="3.0.0">
    <!-- Application -->
    <xs:element name="Application">
        <xs:annotation>
            <xs:documentation>Заявка</xs:documentation>
        </xs:annotation>
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="DecisionResponse" minOccurs="0"/>
                <xs:element ref="CreditRequest" minOccurs="0"/>
                <xs:element ref="Applicant"/>
                <xs:element ref="Routing"/>
            </xs:sequence>
            <xs:attribute ref="applicationDate" use="optional"/>
            <xs:attribute ref="timestamp" use="optional"/>
            <xs:attribute name="applicationId" type="xs:int" use="optional">
                <xs:annotation>
                    <xs:documentation>ID заявки</xs:documentation>
                </xs:annotation>
            </xs:attribute>
            <xs:attribute name="applicationDecision" type="xs:string" use="optional">
                <xs:annotation>
                    <xs:documentation>Итоговое решение по заявке</xs:documentation>
                </xs:annotation>
            </xs:attribute>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
    <!-- DecisionResponse -->
    <xs:element name="DecisionResponse">
        <xs:annotation>
            <xs:documentation>Решения по заявке</xs:documentation>
        </xs:annotation>
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element ref="Product" minOccurs="0"/>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>

Have a look at Xsd2Code as an alternative. – helb Jun 05 '15 at 09:42 — helb, Jun 05 '15 at 09:42

Your best and simple option is to use WSCF blue , it's an add-in to Visual studio just select your set of XSD files/WSDL and generate classes , then you have the option between multiple/single files and there you go

I don't think xsd.exe has that option.

From my experience with xsd.exe, it's a great tool to get you going, but shouldn't be used like the T4 templates (e.g. .tt files for EF), but only be run once.

I've found that there are a bunch of Attributes generated that you don't need and clutter the classes.

So IMHO it's best to simply:

Sift through the generated schema.cs file
Moving sub classes that were created (e.g. Application) into new files manually
Remove unwanted Attributes
And lastly, format and rename the classes to make them maintainable for yourself (and whoever else needs to work on it)

This obviously might works best with a small or mid-sized schema.

31 classes... and if there will be much more than 31 classes?) — Gleb, Jun 05 '15 at 09:45

No. xsd.exe does not have an option to generate multiple classes from one xsd file.

You can try to do it programatically (See this example from Mike Hadlow)
