linq - Jaxb equivalent in C#

Question

Using JAXB in Java it is easy to generate from a xml schema file a set of Java classes that xml conforming to that schema can be deserialized to.

Is there some C# equivalent of JAXB? I know that Linq can serialize and deserialize classes to/from xml files. But how can I generate C# classes from xml schema file and then use this classes with linq?

Answer 1

If you're using Visual Studio, try the XML Schema Definition Tool. It takes your schema definitions and produces C# classes -- or it can go the other way and produce schema definitions from classes. It also has a number of other XML-related transformations.
