Code generators

I opened my inbox this morning to find a link to a brand-new version of the XSD-to-code generator that I've been talking about. Just wanted to share the good news. There was a strong feeling that taking a dependency on a code generator from an outside team would be a bad thing because a) it wasn't built "here" and b) because it was a code generator. Well, I guess none of that matters now...

If you're doing any work with the platform XSD (not the as-shipped ones, we know they're not friendly), then grab this tool and give it a try. I use it every day in unit test development - no more building XML strings for this developer.
