Visual Studio Designer: Opening XML files as a Grid (hidden feature) -
Once I found this add-in in VS2005, to allow me to edit XML files in Excel-like table view Was allowed. I can access it from within Visual Studio by right-clicking the XML file, click Open with, and then select Add-In then I will be able to read / write my simple XML in a simple table format .
The way I remember it, this feature was sent with VS 2005, but was not actually registered with the "Open With" dialogue box, although the required DLL machine resident (VS 2005)
Does anyone know where this DLL is? I had learned this secret from a blog post before, which I have lost for a long time, and doing so much, I have not installed any 3rd party software to make this file available to me.
It may be possible that this VS Adder to the designer is still present in 2008, or 2010 ... but after searching for this feature for 3 years, I am only examining a conscience.
Edit: < / Strong>
And as an additional bonus, the dataset object was able to read / write this XML format, without any special parsing or formatting >
I also remember this feature - but it seems that it was removed:
