So I have an XSD and a webservice that delivers in that same format.
Now I could go ahead and read the xml into a document, create my objects from the class etc... But I am thinking, there must be some easier way to do that.
Am I right? ;)
<ResultSet xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:maps http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsService/V1/GeocodeResponse.xsd">
<Result precision="address">
<Latitude>47.643727</Latitude>
<Longitude>-122.130474</Longitude>
<Address>1 Microsoft Way, #Way1</Address>
<City>Redmond</City>
<State>WA</State>
<Zip>98052-6399</Zip>
<Country>US</Country>
</Result>
</ResultSet>
Below are auto-generated classes (two actually), using xsd.exe
You could use the XmlSerializer to deserialize the XML text into instances of the classes generated by xsd.exe.
The XmlSerializer will use the metadata attributes placed on the generated classes to map back and forth between XML elements and objects.
string xmlSource = "<ResultSet><Result precision=\"address\"><Latitude>47.643727</Latitude></Result></ResultSet>";
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ResultSet));
ResultSet output;
using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(xmlSource))
{
output = (ResultSet)serializer.Deserialize(reader);
}
