[xsd-users] XSD questions

I am having trouble with the hello example program. The documentation on the web site refers to 

the C++ parser?, --xml-parser which is expat, but when I look at the xsd /? command there are no switches 
that refer to the C++ or XML parsers? 

Also, how do I specify that I want to Xerces-C++? 

I tried using the /l:cpp switch in the xsd /? command but I only get a "dot h" file and no CPP file. 

Does XML and an XML parser take the place of LEX and YACC? I have used them in the past. 
I'm trying to see the road map here. Do I create XML files for input to my applications and use XSD to 
generate classes for my application? Then my application can call the methods in these classes to read 
in my XML files? 

The C++/parser seems to allow an application to read and write XML and that is because the xerces code? 

I tried the wiki page to integrate the XSD tool into Visual C++ 2008 but it the instructions for the menus don't match 
whats in the 2008 version. 

The "show XSLT" menu item under XML show/creates the .XSD file in VS C++. Is it compatible with the XSD 
tool? 

Is there a book available with detailed instructions for integrating XSD with VS C++ 2008? 

Thanks in advanced and I'm sorry this post is so long. I'm a C programmer who normally does real-time networking 
stuff trying to make up for lost time. Being one of the recently unemployed I have some time to learn some modern 
stuff.
