Hi Martin,
I don't mind whether my code is in an exe or a dll - I would have needed
a wrapper for NAnt if it was an exe that's why I chose the dll.
I also didn't want to replace xsd.exe which has some extra features
MSDatasetGenerator (and my code) doesn't have, but if you've got a good
idea, just go ahead and show me what comes out. I've written the
DatasetGenerator completely on my own, in one weekend - I know that
products that come out of such a constellation are often somewhat
baindead ;-)
I don't know about solution I've never used it as I don't see it's
advantage over either my hand-tuned NAnt buildfile or doing everything
with VS.NET - perhaps here is someone who could convince me ;-)
btw: the code should also work for Mono. I've intentionally used late
binding for VJSharpCodeProvider so that Mono compilation should be no
problem.
I just can't test it because I'm currently recompiling my Linux box
(LFS) and mono al crashes on my windows box.

Oh - thats new info for me - thanks for clarification.
Still - shoudn't be better you write your code into .exe (like myxsd.exe)
and use existing xsd task to call it? That way we could use whatever
replacement for xsd.exe we want (I'm just writing mine own)
btw: does current solution handle projects with MSDataSetGenerator
already?

Hi Martin,
this is not the full truth.
One could use the xsd command line tool (there is already a
wrapper for this tool in NAnt Contrib) for doing things like
this, but VS.NET does'nt. As I said it uses
MSDataSetGenerator which has'nt got a commandline (The only
exception are strongly typed datasets for managed extensions
for C++ where the xsd tool is used) .
I've tried it and didn't get what i wanted (code files that
can be checked using diff) - that's why I wrote this task.
Regards,
Brar

yes - xsd.exe is just what MSDataSetGenerator runs.
btw: I just found that mono have also xsd.exe
(http://www.mono-project.com/contributing/ado-net.html) so wrapper
seems to be proper way. Moreover, it could be always reconfigurable
(via nant framework config) to any custom generator like those
mentioned below :-)

What Visual Studio uses is the xsd command line tool. Why not just
create a wrapper for the xsd command line tool instead?

Hi,
there is also generator in the PowerToys project on gotdot net
workspace
http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx?id=40d3e800
-e2af-4220-a07
9-66552dd2b825
Another one on
http://www.thecodeproject.com/dotnet/InheritFromDataSet.asp.
But those generators do not generate identical results as
MSDataSetGenerator (intentionally).
Anyway, it could be cool to have this as nant task! Even more if it
works under mono (doesn't mono project have something like this?)

Hi there,
I've written a NAnt task which should implement the
functionality of
MSDataSetGenerator (=The custom tool inside VS.NET which generates
strongly typed datasets fromXML-Schema files).
For testing the results against those of MSDatasetGenerator
I've used
diff.
Right now the results (for all kinds of DataSet-Schemas
that came t my
mind) are identical.
Are you interested in this task?
Any chance to get it into NAnt-Contrib or even NAnt one day?
Would you mind testing it ;-)
