I have been given multiple large XSD's that redundantly define the same types. The end game i'm going for is to be able to generate C# classes from these XSD's with the same(ONE) namespace while not having hundreds of 'namespace already contains a definition for' errors.
Is there an automated way/program to extract the redundant types and put them in a separate XSD to include in the individual files?
I have tried to use xsd.exe to generate one .cs file.
- I'm not sure if this tries to compare the types for uniqueness or just fails on previously defined types.
- This does not "automagically" create serialization methods for all objects generated like XSD2code
I have used xsd2code to generate the .cs files but it only accepts one file at a time and I am having to generate each file in a separate namespace.
I am trying to save time and my mind but If I have to do it by hand each time a new version of the xsd's comes out(hopefully not too often) then so be it.
