Hi every one, My problem is to create an xml file from a xsd file. The thing i want is to know how can I parse the xsd file to know its attribute and type? Also the hierarchical order should be known. I surfed the net and theresult was not fruitful. Most articles where to validate the xml but nothing said precisely about it. Thanks for the help in advance.

This is one option (MSXML):

You can use the XML Schema Definition Tool[^] to generate c# code based on your xml schema.

The generated code can be used to easily read and write your xml files.

Updated for C++
A good C++ validating xml parser can be found at:
Xerces-C++[^]

Espen, he wants a C++ solution. He's tagged it with VC8 and VC9 (meaning C++).

Updated the answer to point at Xerces-C++ for a quality validating XML parser - thank for pointing this out Nishant!

No problem, and now I've voted this a 5.

I myself recommended the built-in MSXML parser below but Xerces may be easier to use (depending on his preference to use COM or not).
