How to map EF model property to XSD element?

[EDN Admin]

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt <span style="font-size:small <span style="font-family:Calibri I have to create hundreds of XML files at run time, for each of the XML file there is one XSD schema. We use .Net entity framework to get the data from the database.
<span style="font-size:small <span style="font-family:Calibri Is there anyway at design time i can define "XSD element to DataBase Table Column" mapping in XSD itself. So that at runtime when i actually create XML, the framework can auto
populate the XML with actual data? If Yes how do i do that, any article would be fine. If not then any suggestion developing custom approch.

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt <span style="font-size:small <span style="font-family:Calibri For example following is sample XSD. How do I define from where the actual FirstName value is coming from.
