xsd

Hello,

We are receiving an XML file from our client. I want to load the data from this file into a class, but am unsure about which way to go about it.

I have an XSD to defining what is expected in the XML file, so therefore i can easily validate the XML file.

Can i use the XSD file to load the data into a POCO, using some sort of serialization?

The other way i was thinking was to load the xml into a XMLDocument and use XPath to populate each property in my class.

Cheers for any advice
