XML binding solution in .NET

Question

Hi, Are there any proper xml binding(mapping) solutions (OXM) in .net? What I need is to generate model classes from arbitrary xml. As for now I can't find anything like JaXB 1/2, JiBX, Castor XML, XMLBeans in Java.

Answer 1

Look at MyGeneration. I think this might be just the thing you need. We used it for some ORM in previous projects but it's pretty versatile.

Answer 2

I've found here a nice overview of xml binding solutions

XMLObjects library seems suitable

Answer 3

I am not sure what exactly you are looking for...but you can take a look at xsd.exe. It can do some pretty neat stuff.
