XSD.exe and code it generates

[Wayne]

I have the following XML snipet:

<PROFILEINSPECTION MODIFIED="TRUE">
<PROFILEINSPECTIONID MODIFIED="TRUE">8622</PROFILEINSPECTIONID>
</PROFILEINSPECTION>

using VS.net I have created a schema, and do the following:
1) remove the Dataset as I don't need it.
2) Set the PROFILEINSPECTIONID maxoccurs to 1

From there I use XSD.exe to create the C# classes for the above XML.
This results in two classes being defined:
1) PROFILEINSPECTION
a) public PROFILEINSPECTIONPROFILEINSPECTIONID
PROFILEINSPECTIONID;
b) public string MODIFIED;
2) PROFILEINSPECTIONPROFILEINSPECTIONID

The issue I have is that there is no code generated to create an
instance for the property PROFILEINSPECTIONID. So when I create an
instance of PROFILEINSPECTION and try to access the
PROFILEINSPECTIONID I receive an exception stating that it is NULL.

So am I missing something with the XSD? or am I trying to do something
with this that it was never ment to do?

Thanks
Wayne

I believe it's working as intended. You'll just need to create a
PROFILEINSPECTIONPROFILEINSPECTIONID instance and assign it to the
PROFILEINSPECTIONID field. Of course should you have deserialized the xml
snippet you provided, the serializer would have done that for you.

Well I am deserializing the XML when I get it back. Some of my web services
take XML as params. In those cases I am creating an instance of the object
and setting the ID, serializing the obeject then passing the XML to the
webservice at which point I get back a fully filled out profileinspection.

I was affaid that some one would awnser with what you awnsered with. The
object/XML is quite complex to have to create an instance of every property
is going to be a pain. Time to look at what and how I'm doing things to see
if I can change it a bit.

Thanks for your help

I now have the code deserializing the XML into the Object, however if there
is no node or the node is empty for a given property then no instance of the
property is created.

Is there any way to force the entire object to be set up with the generated
code, other than modifying the generated code to do this?

Thanks

Not sure if this works because I've never tried it but take a look at
IsNullable property of XmlElementAttribute class.

You'd use it like this:

public class A
{
[XmlElement(IsNullable = false)]
public mypropertyclass B;
}

The only caveat may be that the resulting empty element would contain
xsi:nil = "true" attribute set and maybe that's ok for you, maybe not.

Let me know how it goes.
I'd be interested in the result.

Cheers,
Jiho

Apparently has no effect on the object. According to the help it only
serializes an empty tag for null objects.

Back to looking at other possible options.

Have you tried it out?

In any case, if all else fails, try this:

Yes I did try it out, and it apparently had no effect. I'll read teh link
and see what it has to say.

Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.
