Zero-click design-time validation of XML in VS: the XmlValidate custom tool
-
Note: this entry has moved.
Have you ever wanted you could just save an XML file and have a custom tool tell you what's the output of its validation with a schema (or set of schemas) just as it would be at runtime using the XmlValidatingReader? Go ahead and download the Mvp.Xml.Design installer, and you can have that. Just assign to a file the custom tool "Mvp.Xml.XmlValidate" and set in the Custom Tool Namespace property a semi-colon separated list of schema files (either relative to the file location or with absolute path) and you're done. Everytime you modify the XML file and save it, the associated .txt file will tell you what the outcome of the validation is.
You can investigate other tools offered by the Mvp.Xml project ;)

XInclude in .NET v2?
-
Note: this entry has moved.
Now that the XInclude spec is officially a Recomendation, is it too late to include it in System.Xml v2? Unfortunately I think so :(
Luckily, you can still use it in your apps by using the Mvp.Xml project XInclude.NET.
