Question

how to: re-assemble machine generated classes from xsd files to their original nested state.

Answer 1

A:

This ought to do it (sample console program):

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace ConsoleApplication9
{
    [XmlRoot("Envelope")]
    public class EnvelopeClass
    {
        [XmlElement("DocumentTitle")]
        public string DocumentTitle { get; set; }

        [XmlElement("Body")]
        public BodyClass BodyElement { get; set; }
    }

    public class BodyClass
    {
        [XmlText()]
        public string Body { get; set; }
    }

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            EnvelopeClass envelope =
                new EnvelopeClass
                {
                    DocumentTitle = "Title",
                    BodyElement = new BodyClass { Body = "Body Info" }
                };

            XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(EnvelopeClass));

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(sb);
            xs.Serialize(writer, envelope);
            Console.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

The resulting output:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
    <Envelope 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
      <DocumentTitle>Title</DocumentTitle>
      <Body>Body Info</Body>
    </Envelope>

Hope that helps! Remember to mark my post answered pleez... :)
