If you are working with XML in your application, you need to know about the xsd.exe tool. I just starting to use the tool, and am in love with it. It comes with your VS.Net install, so no files to download.

I have taken 10 XSD documents, and created classes that I can use programmically. When I am done, I can serialize the classes and bam, I am assured that they match the schema. It is perfect.

I can see lots of uses for this tool, so I thought I would let others know about it. I knew it was there, just didn't realize the power until that little lightbulb went off in my head yesterday!
