XSD to byte array and vice versa

need to construct your own byte array from a defiined XSD ? heres how

 

first construct the class from XSD (or XML)

we use XSD tool

• go to Visual studio command prompt
• Go to path of xsd file(I.E c:\xsd)
• xsd [file name].xsd /c /n:[namespace]
• where
• /c – generate classes
• /n - namespace

Now you have created the class representation of the XML (or XSD) file.
you can now use this 2 functions to serialize and deserialize the objects , to byte array and from byte array

public static byte[] ObjectToXmlBytes(object o)

{

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(o.GetType());

serializer.Serialize(memoryStream, o);

return memoryStream.ToArray();



}



public static object XmlBytesToObject(byte[] bytes, Type t)

{

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(bytes);

memoryStream.Position = 0;

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(t);

return serializer.Deserialize(memoryStream);

}

enjoy
