XML Tools: Future Directions for Leveraging Advanced XML
Tutorial Description - XML now shows up just about everywhere, and it is being used as a file format for everything from configuration files to Office documents to UI specifications. Visual Studio 2005 includes some great new tools for working with XML, especially the new XML editor. In this presentation, we show how the XML editor can be customized to create domain-specific editors for different XML vocabularies, and how the XML editor can be "hooked in" to provide advanced editing functionality in custom designers with the Visual Studio SDK. We will also preview some of what's coming with additional XML tools in upcoming releases.
