Issue with Generate from XML template

Issue with Generate from XML template

The template that generates business objects from XML has an issue with Namespaces.

If you generate against the XML at the end of this message, and try to change the namespace on each object, only the first couple of namespaces get used. For instance, all my objects fall under EditableChild and ReadOnlyChildList. What should be an object under EditableRoot is placed under the EditableChild namespace (incorrectly).

I have verified that the proper templates are getting called as I have comments at the top of each template that outputs the template name so I know that the EditableRoot object is being generated against the correct template, but the namespace is incorrect.

In the template I have

//EditableRoot
<% if (objInfo.Namespace.Length > 0) { %>namespace <%= objInfo.Namespace %>

This only uses the correct namespace for the first and last objects in the XML file.

In the OutputSubTemplate function I am doing the following 

  subTemplate.SetProperty("ClassNamespace", _projectNamespace);
  subTemplate.SetProperty("Namespace", _projectNamespace);

and I have verified that the namespace is correct at this point. It's when the code is actually generated that the objInfo.Namespace does not contain the correct value.

Thanks, Will

Will,
Just want to let you know that I'll look in to this.  I just came back from long vacation and still trying to recover from it.

Will,

What built did use to generate the code, the data structure of the sample does not look like the one comming from any of the nightly builds

Are you referring to the sample XML I provided above? Or some other sample? The XML above is some that I generated myself.

You have tags and properties that is not valid eq: <Required />, Description="" Type="int" DataType="Int32" NativeType="int" SystemType="System.Int32"

Make sure your xml file is validate against CslaProject.xsd.
