Boy, Microsoft made it hard to find the location of xsd.exe !
It is actually located like here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\bin\NETFX 4.5.1 Tools\xsd.exe
But that is nowhere on the default path, nor in the registry.
What happens during installation of Visual Studio and/or the Microsoft SDK, is that the vsvars32.bat xsd.exe) to the PATH.
So the trick is to find the youngest Visual Studio first, then run the according vsvars32.bat, and then xsd.exe is on the path.

:: Dynamically finds the installed xsd.exe, then calls it with the passed parameters
:: test these environment variables that have 110 or 120 in them (future enhancements: support more Visual Studio versions):
:: Visual Studio .NET 2002: VS70COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio .NET 2003: VS71COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2005: VS80COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2008: VS90COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2010: VS100COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2012: VS110COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\
:: Visual Studio 2013: VS120COMNTOOLS=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\
:: They contain `vsvars32.bat` which will update the `PATH` so it includes where `xsd.exe` resides

I wrote about the xsd.exe tool before to generate XSD from XML:
But it is much more than that, as it is a great way of generating .NET (not only C# and VB.NET code) from XSD files:
Long ago, xsd.exe used to come as part of Visual Studio , but now it is installed with the various Microsoft Windows SDK versions (of which some are downloadable ) which makes it harder to locate on your system.
The really bad thing is that Visual Studio cannot find XSD.exe as part of your project Build Events , as the PATH has not been set up correctly.
Starting xsd.exe from a Visual Studio Build Events
In my hunt for the xsd.exe location, I started with a small batch file to find the xsd.exe locations from the registry:

Often I want to execute a TF.exe from the console, but don’t have the Visual Studio environment variables setup. Most of the times I want to run TF.exe from the most current Visual Studio installation, hence this TF.bat file figures out the location of it, then runs with the parameters passed to TF.bat: Read the rest of this entry »

I’m going to experiment with this. Most likely the quality of the code samples will be the biggest factor in like/dislike result.
Visual Studio – Google+ .

I had some excessive CPU usage (30% on a 4-core system) inside WheaAttemptPhysicalPageOffline when using an Intel HD graphics 2500 GPU .
At first I thought I needed to convince IT to update the drivers: Intel HD graphics causing high CPU utilization | Intel Communities .
Then I closed all Visual Studio 2013 instances and the CPU usage went to normal.
So I’m suspecting a WPF issue somewhere .
