Visual Studio helpful XML tips
I've been doing a bit of XML work lately, writing and testing XSLT's. I've found that visual studio 2008 is a fantastic environment for this.
Firstly you need to use the properties window of an XML document the two relevant properties are the Schemas and Stylesheet settings.
By assigning a schema to your XML document you will then get validation and intelli-sense when you edit your XML document.
The stylesheet property allows you to select an XSLT to apply to the XML document you are working on, this can be run from the XML menu option and will produce a new output file.
