Hi everyone,

I'm working in Visual Studio 2008 using c#.

Let's say I have 2 xsd files e.g "Envelope.xsd" and "Body.xsd"

I create 2 sets of classes by running xsd.exe, creating something like "Envelope.cs" and "Body.cs", so far so good.

I can't figure out how to link the two classes to serialize (using XmlSerializer) into the proper nested xml, i.e:

I want: <Envelope><DocumentTitle>Title</DocumentTitle><Body>Body Info</Body></Envelope>

But I get: <Envelope><DocumentTitle>Title</DocumentTitle></Envelope><Body>Body Info</Body>

Could someone perhaps show me how the two .cs classes should look to enable XmlSerializer to runt the desired nested result?

Thanks a million

Paul
