This is pretty interesting. Have you ever been able to templatize the code that XSD generates? I've always wanted to do that, but have been too lazy to look into it.

Hi Brendan - I'm curious as to what you mean by "templatize". Care to elaborate?

I think he means that you supply a "template" .cs file for the code generator to use as a template file. Its similar to how Brendan uses template files for his collections classes, I can't find the link to his post about it, but I think thats what hes talking about. And, no I haven't tried using a template file at all, this is my first foray into generating code from an .xsd

XSD.exe uses the codedom internally to do it's code generation (generating typed datasets and classes from .xsd files) so there is not much scope for using templates if you want to leverage that. You could always write your own, or use XSLT.

There's an old thread somewhere about doing this, the question popped up in a discussion on typed datasets vs business entities. I'll see if I can dig it up. It'd be nice to be able to teak the code that it generates, to add custom business rules, etc.
