Is there a quick and easy way to convert a DTD into C# objects /
interfaces?

I realize this can be done with schema, but I have been given the
DTD's as a requirement.

Thank you.

I am not aware of any quick way express a DTD in an object model. The
important question is what you expect the C# objects to do / what do you
need to use them for?

Andrew,

Hrm, how about using something like dtd2schema to create a schema
from the DTD then using SOM to read the schema?

There's currently nothing in the .NET Framework to generate objects from the
definitions in a DTD. If you can convert the DTD to XML Schema with XmlSpy
for example ) then you can use either xsd.exe, which is part of the .NET
Framework or the Xml Inference Tool from GDN [0] to generate C# of VB.NET
classes.
