Creating XSD file from an XML file in Asp.Net within few seconds

Please visit my new Web Site https://coderstechzone.com

There are a lot of tools in the internet you will get to create XSD file from an XML file but you need to download then install or may be convert on-line. But there is good news that Asp.Net has built in menu to create XSD file from an XML file.

To do that first write the below XML file in VisualStudio:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Home>
  <Menu text="Books" url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
    <SubMenu text="Asp.Net" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
    <SubMenu text="Ajax" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
    <SubMenu text="MS SQL Server 2005" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
    <SubMenu text="JavaScript" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
  </Menu>
  <Menu text="Electronics"  url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
    <SubMenu text="Camera" url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
      <SubMenu text="Digital" url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
        <SubMenu text="Canon" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="Kodak" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="Sony" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="Casio" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="Fuji" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
      </SubMenu>
      <SubMenu text="Film Camera" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
    </SubMenu>
    <SubMenu text="DVDs" url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
      <SubMenu text="Comedy" url="MenuFromXml.aspx">
        <SubMenu text="English" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="French" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="German" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
        <SubMenu text="Spanish" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
      </SubMenu>
      <SubMenu text="Kids Movies" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
      <SubMenu text="Romance Movies" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
      <SubMenu text="Action Movies" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></SubMenu>
    </SubMenu>
  </Menu>
  <Menu text="Contact Us" url="MenuFromXml.aspx"></Menu>
</Home>

Now you found a menu named "XML" in VS Main menu. View:

Now click on Create schema will create the below XSD file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="Home">
    <xs:complexType>
      <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Menu">
          <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence minOccurs="0">
              <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="SubMenu">
                <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="SubMenu">
                      <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence minOccurs="0">
                          <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="SubMenu">
                            <xs:complexType>
                              <xs:attribute name="text" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                              <xs:attribute name="url" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                            </xs:complexType>
                          </xs:element>
                        </xs:sequence>
                        <xs:attribute name="text" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                        <xs:attribute name="url" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                      </xs:complexType>
                    </xs:element>
                  </xs:sequence>
                  <xs:attribute name="text" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                  <xs:attribute name="url" type="xs:string" use="required" />
                </xs:complexType>
              </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
            <xs:attribute name="text" type="xs:string" use="required" />
            <xs:attribute name="url" type="xs:string" use="required" />
          </xs:complexType>
        </xs:element>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
  </xs:element>
</xs:schema>
