Deploying a Custom Schema Provider

To deploy a custom Schema Provider you will need to:

  • Make sure that the schema provider's assembly file name ends with "SchemaProvider.dll".
  • Place the schema provider's compiled assembly (bin\SchemaExplorer.CustomSchemaProvider.dll in our example) in the CodeSmith Generator Program Files folder SchemaProviders Folder (ex. C:\Program Files\CodeSmith Generator\<Version>\SchemaProviders).
  • In order to use the schema provider from Visual Studio, you will need to add the schema provider to the GAC.
  • Restart CodeSmith Generator and/or Visual Studio.
