Building XmlSampleGenerator.dll howto

[evillard]

hi, i've seen some people having problems to build XmlSampleGenerator.dll.

read the article :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...tml/xmlgen.asp

you can directly download the source code from here :
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...eGenerator.msi
it's a msi file.

To build the dll, i've used Microsoft Visual C# Express Edition 2005 downloadable from Microsoft Site : http://www.microsoft.com/france/msdn...lechargez.mspx
(excuse me for the localization, i'm a froggy)

1. install the source code (and the MSDE if necessary)
2. in the MSDE create a new Class Library Project labeled XMLSampleGenerator
3. import all the installed files of the source code by adding existing elements to the project
4. generate the project, you have your XmlSampleGenerator.dll

if you want to have the command line tool copy XmlSampleGenerator.dll and XmlSampleGenerator.pdb files from the bin directory of your project and paste them in the source code installation directory.
Make sure the parent folder of csc.exe is referenced in the PATH environment variable. (On my computer : C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727)

1. run the cmd.exe
2. change directory to the source code installation folder
3. run the build.bat command, you have your XmlGen.exe

This only works with the .net framework 2.0.

bye

Hi, is this available in VB.net or where can I get a copy of the DLL and
PDB? Why do I have to create it, if it is a generic app??

Thanx!!
