1) You don't need to use third party software to get public properties or
strong typed collections instead of arrays. Check the article titled Code
Generation in the .NET Framework Using XML Schema on MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnxmlnet/htm
l/xsdcodegen.asp).
Another quick trick you can use is this:
http://weblogs.asp.net/cazzu/archive/2003/08/26/25460.aspx
2) In order to get classes that inherit from others, you have to create
complex types that act as the base type for others. For example, you have to
define a Person complex type, and make the ExtendedPerson complex type
inherit from it. You'll get two classes, the later inheriting the former.
