TaskVisionWS DataSet(xxx).vb

First, thanks to Microsoft for TaskVision and Microsoft Application Blocks, they are great tools.

I’m attempting to leverage off of the TaskVision framework for development of a custom solution.

I’m currently involved in the rather tedious process of adapting the TaskVisionWS: DataSet(xxx).vb modules to match my solution’s database.

Being one who tends to labor endlessly in search of the easy way out, I can almost smell one here.

I see the auto-generated comment at the top of these code modules.:

'

' Runtime Version: 1.0.3705.209
'
' Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
' the code is regenerated.
' </autogenerated>
'
Does anyone have any insight as to the “tool” used to generate this code?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely this "tool" is xsd.exe. This tool can generate either classes or a DataSet based on an XML Schema (XSD).

Thanks David, you are correct, and I appreciate knowing about Xsd.exe

I ran xsd against the xml, and received a nearly identical banner to the one in TaskVision (my version is slightly newer).

The code generated is extremely skeletal however. I guess that was predictable.

I was considering a building Visio UML template to produce these classes for a given table.
While possible, that solution appeared a long haul as I got into it a little bit.

For now, it's manual re-writing to implement new database table classes.

Thanks Again
Kevin
