URGENT - is there a way to use XSD file as schema for writing XML?

[Lindy]

I have a schema file called asc.xsd which I have added to my project .Net
project (VB).
I am using XMLTextWriter in order to create/write data to a new XML file.

Is there a way to access the elements, etc. from this schema in order to
simplify my writing of the elements to the new XML file?
If so, how would I do this?

When I look at the file in the Schema layout, the top node is called
"HC_DATA". There are 3 elements in that box: HEADER, RECORDS, TRAILER. Of
course, for each of these elements, there are more details.

Is there a way to declare an object such as HC_DATA so that I can reference
each of the elements and assign values to them and write them using
XMLTextWriter?

VB code preferred but C# would help also.
Thanks so much!
