1. Application command line:

cxsc -xs="SchemaFilePath" -ns="CodeNamespaceName" [-out="OutputFolder"]
   [-lang="Lang"][-i={"ImportSchemaFilePath"},{..}]
   [-m={"ICodeModifierFilePath"},{..}][/r]
   [[/v]{|}[/s]][[/11]{1}[/20]][/h]

   -xs="SchemaFilePath"	:	Schema (XSD) file path
   -ns="CodeNamespaceName"	:	Code namespace name
   -out="OutputFolder"	:	Code file output folder
   -lang=Lang]		:	Code language:CS=C#,VB=Visual Basic
   				Defaultlanguage=C#
   -i="ImportFilePath"	:	Import schema(s) (XSD) file path(es)
   -m="ModifierFilePath"	:	ICodeModifier assembly filepath(es)
   /r			:	Raw mode - generates XSD tool raw output
   /v			:	Verbose reporting mode (default mode)
   /s			:	Silent mode (no reporting)
   /h			:	Displays this prompt
   /11			:	Generate for .NET Version 1.1.4322.xxx.
   				(See notes below)
   /20			:	Generate for .NET Version 2.0.50727.xx.
				(See notes below)

   [] terms are optional
   {|} indicates one term or the other (not both)
   {} terms can be repeated separated by commas for multiple items

   Notes:
    1. Will execute using the required .NET version, if installed,
       else will execute on the latest installed .NET Version.
    2. CodeXS.Schema.StandardCodeModifier.{.NET Version string}.dll is
       included by default.

    .NET version      .NET Version string
    ------------      -------------------
    1.1.4322.xxx      Net1_1
    2.0.50727.xx      (null)

2. Command line parameters:

2.1 -xs Schema (XSD) file path

Specify the schema file path of the input (base or root) XML schema file. The schema can include or import other schema files, and these will be automatically used by CodeXS, provided that the relative or absolute paths specified can be resolved to an absolute UNC or local path name, or URL. If a URL is specified, it should be publicly accessible.

2.2 -ns Code namespace name

Specify a valid C# or VB.NET namespace name. If the name is invalid (will not compile), CodeXS attempts to fix the name automatically.

2.3 -out Code files output folder

Specify the output file folder, either as a valid UNC, or relative / absolute local file path. The path must exist, and must be accessible by the application.

2.4 -lang Code language

Specify the output language for the generated code:

CS = C#.NET

VB = VB.NET

If not specified, C# is assumed.

2.5 -i Import schema files

If additional schemas are to be incorporated for code-generation, they can be specified here. Multiple schemas can be specified by separating each path with a comma.

2.6 -m ICodeModifier assembly files

If additional code generation is to be done, assemblies can be specified which implement the ICodeModifier interface. These assemblies will be attached to the CodeXS generator and the interface implemented by each assembly called for every schema object in the schemas used for code generation. Multiple modifier assemblies can be specified by separating each path with a comma.

2.7 /r Raw mode

If this flag is specified, all ICodeModifier assemblies, including the built-in "StandardCodeModifier.dll" are ignored, and the raw XSD.EXE generated code is output.

2.8 /v Verbose mode

If specified, the CodeXS application will generate console progress and error reports.

2.9 /s Silent mode

If specified, the CodeXS application will generate no console reports will be generated.

2.10 /11 Generate for .NET Version 1.1.4322.xxx

Will execute and generate code using the required .NET version, if installed, else will execute on the latest installed .NET Version. "CodeXS.Schema.StandardCodeModifier.{.NET Version string}.dll" is included by default as the standard code modifier set, unless the -m parameter is specified.

2.11 /20 Generate for .NET Version 2.0.50727.xx

Will execute and generate code using the required .NET version, if installed, else will execute on the latest installed .NET Version. "CodeXS.Schema.StandardCodeModifier.{.NET Version string}.dll" is included by default as the standard code modifier set, unless the -m parameter is specified.

2.12 /h Help mode If specified, displays the usage output message.
