how to check schema is in sync with classes generated with XSD.exe?

Question

I am using classes generated with XSD.exe from schema(xsd file) for serializing/deserializing XML. Recently I had some issues becasue the schema changed but I missed to regenerate the classes.

I am wondering what is the best way to make sure the schema and classes are in sync? How can I check this in runtime and compiletime?

Answer 1

Generate classes according xsd file in Pre-build event command line of build events page of project properties. In this way, classes is always sync with schema.
