Hello,

Does  xsd.exe  support generating  .NET  enumerations from XSD
enumerations?  

That is, if I have
             
       ...
             
    <xs:simpleType name="US_STATE">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
            <xs:enumeration
                value="AL"
            />

            <xs:enumeration
                value="AK"
            />

            <xs:enumeration
                value="AZ" />

            ...
           
            </xs:restriction>               
    </xs:simpleType>

    <xs:element name="State" type"US_STATE" >
   
       ...

as part of my schema, then as part of my generated dataset, I would like to
see something like the following (in C#):

    public enum US_STATE
    {
        AL,
        AK,
        AZ,
        ...
    }
   

    ...

    public WhateverRow AddWhateverRow(
        ...
        US_STATE STATE,
        ...
    )
   
   
    public US_STATE STATE
    {
        get
        {
            return ((US_STATE)
                                (this[this.tableWhatever.STATEColumn]));
        }
        set
        {
            this[this.tableWhatever.STATEColumn] = value;
        }
    }
   
The advantage would be to catch validation errors at compile time and the
ability to leverage IntelliSense (i.e. catching errors BEFORE compile time,
at programming-time :).

PS:  Similar questions apply to other  xs:restrictions  , such as
xs:maxLength  , but I'm really most interested in  xs:enumeration.
