How to generate .xsd from a .cs using xsd.exe tool?

Question

I have a .cs file that contains a subclass of XTypedElement and IXMetaData. Microsoft has a tool that generates XSD files automatically from managed code, but it doesn't accept .cs files. It only accepts .exe, .dll, .xdr, .xml, and .xsd.

How do I convert my .cs file into a .xsd file with this tool?

You first need to compile it into dll or exe file, i.e. .NET assembly, and then use this as an input for xsd.exe

If you want to convert only a specific class, use the following command:

xsd bin\Release\MyAssembly.exe /type:The.FullName.Of.YourType
