I'd like to generate C# classes from an XML Schema file. All the generated
classes should provide a basic member function framework like Save() and a
basic member element like Dirty. Moreover, I'd like to have all the
generated class properties overwritten so that a write will set the Dirty
member to true (see example below).

Is this possible using xsd.exe? Or is there some other way? Or do I need to
write my own generator tool?

Thanks for enlightening me!

TIA,
Axel Dahmen

class GeneratedClass : BaseClass
{
 private int    member_;

 public int Member    {
                        get {return member_;}

                        // this function references base class members...
                        set {member_=value; State=Updated;}
                      }
}

/// This class will be provided in another file.
/// It provides basic funtionality common to all generated classes
class BaseClass
{
 protected enum StateEnum  {Inserted,Deleted,Updated,Clean};
 protected State;

 public virtual Save();    // uses Reflection to save derived classes
}
