Is svcutil.exe a replacement for xsd.exe?

Question

I am using xsd.exe to generate some c# classes from a .xsd file. I ran into the same issue that is covered here and on other sites where xsd.exe generates Type[] arrays instead

Answer 1

Yes, svcutil.exe can be used as a replacement for xsd.exe but it sounds like you are having trouble getting generic collections to be generated. svcutil.exe has a collectionType switch that allows you to specify the type to be used for a collection:

svcutil /o:Svc.cs /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 http://example.com
