Generating xml dataset classes programmatically

In the VS command prompt that is part of the VS SDK you can enter the following to generate an xsd file from an xml file:

      xsd XMLfilename.xml

This will generate an xsd file with the same name as the xml file

Then you can enter:

    xsd [.xsd file generated from above]  /d  /language:CS

This will generate a .cs file with the same name as the .xml and .xsd from above.  In your program you can then load the xml file into a dataset in memory and query it programmatically using the class that was generated for that xml file.

I am searching for a way to perform the above steps programmatically rather than using the command prompt.
