RE: [nant-dev] Editing .build files w/syntax hilighting in VS.NET
David, You are correct, the nantschema task is under construction, and incomplete. I am working on getting it back into shape to support collections and nested elements. It will get done after I'm finished with the new userdoc stuff (which is really close). I'm more than happy to hear about any additions to the nant.xsd file that you think would help. The first one on my list is to get it defining the types correctly so it is accurate :) Some of the features that I would like to add are kind of restrictive with the expand properties features that we have. It would be nice to allow mappings of .net enums to xsd but that would restrict the use of expanded properties, since the xsd would choke on any invalid values for attributes that of type enum. There are ways around this although it requires a little xml schema magic. :) I'll post an update to all this when the xsd file is good to go again! quote who=David Reed You can also set this by right-clicking on a .build file in a project (add one to a project temporarily if you need to) and choosing Open With... Choose HTML/XML Editor and click Set as Default. File associations are cool, but the really neat trick is to get tag-completion for NAnt scripts in VS.NET! I'm much too lazy to look up syntax every time I need it. (Thank you, Bill, for ruining my short-term and short-term memories.) Copy a NAnt.xsd file that has the task schema in it into the following path (for VS.NET 2003): C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml\ And then automagically any file with the correct schema definition at the top of the file will support tag completion in the VS.NET XML editor. (I prefer to give all my build files .build.xml extensions anyway.) ?xml version=1.0? project name=eRealty.Desktop.ContractManager default=build xmlns=http://nant.sourceforge.net/; [Which reminds me... The standard NAnt schema is incomplete, folks. My tag completion, particularly for nested elements, often fails me and I have to actually read the help file. Very upsetting. Heh.] There are other handy type-definition things that could be done to enhance the NAnt.xsd and provide more and better Intelisense... but I'm kind of swamped at the moment or I'd've already done it. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

I'm not sure if this was posted to these lists before, but this registry
modification with allow you to edit .build file with nice XML syntax
hiliting in VS.NET 2003.
