XSD.exe: Error generating classes for schema 'MySchema.xsd'. - The element 'https://schemas.DomainName.com/types:MyType' is missing.

  • Article

If you are getting this kind of error it is probably because the XSD.exe utility is not following imports and/or includes in your XSD. To solve this issue, specify all the required XSD files directly on the command line as follows:

xsd.exe /c MySchema.xsd Import01.xsd Import02.xsd Include01.xsd Include02.xsd

where Import01.xsd, Import02.xsd, Include01.xsd and Include02.xsd are XSD files referenced via import and include elements in MySchema.xsd.

    Check all the .xsd files in your source files directory.Your command will be something like xsd.exe /c MySchema.xsd ..........xsd. Press enter and it will generate your class.
