Remarks

Apply the XmlTypeAttribute to a class to specify the XML type's namespace, the XML type name, and whether to include the type in the XML schema document. To see the results of setting the properties of the XmlTypeAttribute class, compile your application as an executable or DLL, and pass the resulting file to the XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe). The tool writes the schema, including the type definition.
