>In 2.0 there is no need to subclass. Along with the XSD you get a CS that is a partial class. So you just need to create your own class and add appropriate methods.<

Right. Partial classes would do away with the need for a subclass. I guess I spaced out on the fact that we were talking about 2.0 here. <g>
