Obviously Microsoft forgot about XInclude when they were shipping Visual Studio, so when you edit your XML and use XInclude you get no intellisense. It's easy to fix though. Just get this XInclude schema (standard XInclude schema improved a bit by Laurens Holst) and drop it into {Visual Studio install ...
Here is a small quick release. IronXSLT v0.3. New in this version: IronXSLT installer turns on dynamic XSLT Intellisense Improved compatibility with Visual Studio 2008 ...
A very little known fact is that Visual Studio 2008 does support real XSLT intellisense - not a static XSLT schema-based one, but real dynamic intellisense enabling autocompletion of template names, modes, parameter/variable names, attribute set names, namespace prefixes etc. For some obscure reason it is off by default and ...
Microsoft XML Tools team has released XSLT profiler addin for Visual Studio 2008. I've heard about this tool and even did a little testing long time ago (apparently it's very hard to release anything in Microsoft). First thing you need to know about Microsoft XSLT profiler - it requires Visual ...
When you create new XSLT stylesheet in Visual Studio via project (Add/New Item) or globally (File/New/File aka Ctrl+N), you start with template content. This template is changing in every new Visual Studio version, probably because every new generation of developers working on XSLT tools in Visual Studio have different vision ...
Better later than never. I uploaded IronXSLT 0.2 release. New in this version: IronXSLT should now run without Visual Studio 2008 SDK A notion of a Startup stylesheet in XSLT Library project "Debug" page in XSLT Library project properties, which has Startup stylesheet dropdown list "Set as StartUp Stylesheet ...
John Lam ported Textmate's Vibrant Ink theme to Visual Studio. Get it here. Awesome. Note that toolbar buttons are nowhere to be seen. I noticed that while I'm only barely use toolbar, it still takes lots of space and more irritating - distracts attention like xmas tree and tends to rearrange itself I have no ...
Victor Garcia Aprea, the guy behind VSSDK Assist writes about his experience and vision of extending Visual Studio. My Love / Hate relationship with Visual Studio: Visual Studio is a tool I love to use. Visual Studio is a tool I hate to extend. Enough said. Ditto. In another post, Dreaming ...
Microsoft XML Team posted a series of screencasts unveiling some new features in Visual Studio Orcas 2008. Short ones, but to the point, without blablahblah. I particularly like XML Editor ability to generate stub XML document from XML schema in just one tab click. Oh, and XSLT debugging is getting ...
Craig Skibo of Microsoft writes about new thing they announced recently - Visual Studio Shell. What the hell is that? Marketing description is unreadable: A streamlined Visual Studio development environment, the Visual Studio Shell provides the core foundation so you can focus on building your application’s unique features. But ...
Yes, I'm trying to change the way you work with XSLT in Microsoft Visual Studio. It must be a pleasure to develop and rocket fast at runtime. Yes, Visual Studio already supports editing, running and even debugging XSLT, but it's still a painfully limited support. So I'm started building IronXSLT ...
To be continued... ...

I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Codename Orcas Beta1 and was really pleased to see that it's finally capable of targeting not only .NET 3.5. It supports .NET versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. This is going to be the first multitargeted Visual Studio version, so far I had to keep Visual Studio .NET for maintaining .NET ...
