Hi faerseer,
there is another Xml tool on gotdotnet.com called
XSD Object Code Generator which is more comfortable
than the standard XSD.exe. XSD Object Code Generator
comes as a VS PlugIn and add a new Project Type
to your IDE. It also allows you to specify the namespace
which i think will solve your problems.

Cheers
Lars Behrmann
