If you are working on .NET 4.5 project in VS 2012 (or newer), you can just Special Paste your XML file as classes.

  1. Copy your XML file's content to clipboard
  2. In editor, select place where you want your classes to be pasted
  3. From the menu, select EDIT > Paste Special > Paste XML As Classes
