BizTalk messages based on .NET types instead of Xsd schemas

you said "Cons:
External publication and Interoperatibility. There is no Schema, so if you intend to publish it externally, what do you publish?
"
XSD.exe is a tool that will output a schema based upon the type. This is actually what the orchestration compiler does if you have a .NET type as a message type. Look at the generated orchestration - there is a schema inside. :)

However, an xsd-generated schema will not include the distinguished fields. Not sure what other attributes it might omit.

Great help - thanks for this! I was tearing my hair out.

By the way i'm using XSD to generate the class then i'm doing a find and replace on to change the attributes over my fields from...

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)]

to

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified), Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.DistinguishedField()]

Obviously this quick fix is heavily flawed but as there could be other XSD generated attributes that get generate.

Its working for me at the moment though cause im only using basic types like String, Int, DateTime etc...

You'll soon find out though because when you come to compile your orchestrations they'll complain when you haven't set one of your properties

Thanks again for ending my search for information on this for the last 24 hours!!

Thanks David, great post.

I can't find the attribute in order to mark the field as promoted. Can you tell me what attribute is it?
