[xsd-users] Too many anonymous types

[Brian Young ARA/CFD]

--file-per-type does work with the small/sample schema sent previously
in this post. I followed the instructions for using XSD with Visual
Studio.

My original schema is currently one big file. Is there anyway to get
more output from the code generator when running --file-per-type on a
big schema? I do not see the created files (and SLOC) listed in the
Visual Studio Output window as I do when running --file-per-type on the
small/sample schema.

Thank you,

Hm, this should work. The --extern-xml-schema option is ok, it is
--generate-xml-schema that you cannot use with --file-per-type, about
which you get diagnostics.

Can you try to use the same options on the test schema that you sent in
your previous email. If XSD does not produce any code either, I would
like to see how you compile things.

Ok, I will try to sketch something up tomorrow. Though I would like to
find out why --file-per-type does not work on your schema. BTW, is it
just one big file or does it use include/import?
