XML Notepad - New Release

Nice litte Tool from Microsoft: XML Notepad. A slick and slim alternative to Altova XMLSpy or VS2005 XMLEditor.

It does support:

• Browsing XML
• Instant schema validation
• Intellisense according XSD
• Undo/Redo
• much more

Design is documented, Source Code is included, Tool is written in C# 2.0 and does use intensively System.Xml.

To get the code up and running in VS 2005 Solution, do the following:

• Open XmlNotePad.sln
• Delete Projects not needed (reduce to the max :-)
  - I just use Projects "Application", "Help" and "XMLNotePad"
• Delete reference to not existing *.snk file (thru Project-Properties, Signing, disable "Sign the assembly")
• Add a reference to the libraries XmlDiffPatch.dll and XmlDiffPatch.View.dll to Project "XMLNotepad"
• Set Project "Application" as Startup
• Run

Now, the solution should run without trouble.
