LINQ to XSD is the code name of an incubation project that aims to provide =
.NET developers with support for typed XML programming on top of LINQ to XM=
L. While the LINQ to XML programmer operates on generic XML trees, the LINQ=
 to XSD programmer operates on typed XML trees -- instances of .NET types t=
hat model the XML types of a specific XML schema (XSD). LINQ to XSD can be =
used whenever you have an XML schema available, or you are willing to infer=
 a schema from the XML data at hand. LINQ to XSD is integrated into Visual =
Studio; so you just tag an XML schema as an 'LINQ to XSD schema', build you=
r project, and the automatically derived object model is then part of your =
solution -- just as if XML schemas were .NET types. The derived object mode=
l enforces various validation constraints imposed by the underlying XML sch=
ema.
