How to create C# data transfer object (DTO) class from a given XML?

• Have your xml ready
• On visual studio command prompt

 

        xsd <ur xml file path> - this will generate xsd

        xsd <ur just generated xsd file> /classes- this will generate cs

 

and finally use following sample code to load xml

 

StreamReader str = new StreamReader("cd_catalog.xml");

      XmlSerializer xSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CATALOG));

 

      CATALOG myCdCatalogue = (CATALOG)xSerializer.Deserialize(str);

 

      foreach (CATALOG.CDRow cd in myCdCatalogue.CD)

      {

        Console.WriteLine(cd.TITLE);

        Console.WriteLine(cd.ARTIST);

        Console.WriteLine(cd.COUNTRY);

        Console.WriteLine(cd.COMPANY);

        Console.WriteLine(cd.PRICE);

        Console.WriteLine(cd.YEAR);

        Console.WriteLine();

      }

      str.Close();

 

>>> xml to C#, C#, .net 3.5, XML
