Repository navigation
Question: Use at build time? #518
Description
Thank you for creating this amazing tool and apologies for posting a question here, but I could not find a guide to or usage of what I would like to have in a project I am developing.
Currently, I use a version of XmlSchemaClassGenerator.Console that I need to check into a repository (under tools\..) and use in my project as
<Target Name="Create classes from schema" BeforeTargets="PreBuildEvent" AfterTargets="Clean">
<Message Importance="high" Text="Running batch script..." />
<Exec Command=".\tools\xscgen\XmlSchemaClassGenerator.Console.exe .\data\MySchema.xsd" />
</Target>What I am trying to achieve is a way of handling this via the NuGet package and without having to install the dotnet tool (if possible) so that I can also use the functionality in a build pipeline that does not have any tools installed.

I think the easiest way is to use xscgen as a local tool.
Another option of course is to use the XmlSchemaClassGenerator library in a custom console app that can be part of your solution. This may sound harder than it is, should be only a few lines.
In #281 @shuebner started an effort to create a source generator which would probably be ideal for your use case, but unfortunately it has stalled.
