Hello,

I have looked into this issue again and was able to repro it with the same results you were experiencing.

To workaround this issue, you can preprocess the schema to remove group references.

To view our current support for schema groups, please view the following doc: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d79t4w33.aspx

Thanks,

Hello,

Can you please post the error message you are recieving.

I just ran xsd.exe on the attached schema and got the following error "Error: can only generate one of the classes or datasets". Is this the same results you are seeing?
