Mapping nonNegativeInteger to uint

[Boggin]

By default any "nonNegativeInteger" is being mapped to "string" but it needs to map to an "uint". What can I do with xscgen command parameters to force the required mapping, please?

Use either --integer or --fallback, see https://github.com/mganss/XmlSchemaClassGenerator?tab=readme-ov-file#integer-and-derived-types

Thanks for the answer. I've tried and couldn't get that to do what I wanted it to do. Perhaps it's not possible?

This is a demo XSD:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:api-ns="test-com" targetNamespace="test-com" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <complexType name="TestSetType">
    <attribute name="InstID" type="nonNegativeInteger" use="optional"/>
    <attribute name="InstCode" type="string" use="optional"/>
    <attribute name="InstName" type="string" use="optional"/>
  </complexType>
</schema>

This is the output of any of the following commands:

xscgen --fallback .\test.xsd
xscgen --integer=uint .\test.xsd
xscgen --integer=uint --tns A:nonNegativeInteger=uint .\test.xsd

namespace Test.Com
{
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("XmlSchemaClassGenerator", "3.0.1234.0")]
    [System.SerializableAttribute()]
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute("TestSetType", Namespace="test-com")]
    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
    public partial class TestSetType
    {
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstID")]
        public string InstId { get; set; }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstCode")]
        public string InstCode { get; set; }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstName")]
        public string InstName { get; set; }
    }
}

I'm trying to get the type="nonNegativeInteger" to be generated as uint.

[mganss]

You're right, uint wasn't supported up to now. I've added supported for the missing integer types. You can now use -i ui for uint.

dotnet tool update --global dotnet-xscgen
xscgen --integer=ui .\test.xsd

That works! :)

// This code was generated by XmlSchemaClassGenerator version 3.0.1240.0 using the following command:
// xscgen --integer=ui .\test.xsd
namespace Test.Com
{
    [System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("XmlSchemaClassGenerator", "3.0.1240.0")]
    [System.SerializableAttribute()]
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute("TestSetType", Namespace="test-com")]
    [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
    [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
    public partial class TestSetType
    {

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstID")]
        public uint InstId { get; set; }

        /// <summary>
        /// <para xml:lang="en">Gets or sets a value indicating whether the InstId property is specified.</para>
        /// </summary>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlIgnoreAttribute()]
        public bool InstIdSpecified { get; set; }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstCode")]
        public string InstCode { get; set; }

        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlAttributeAttribute("InstName")]
        public string InstName { get; set; }
    }
}

Thanks @mganss, this is great.
