Hi,

It seems to me that VS.NET does only see XSD (XML text editor IntelliSense)
if it is either included in the project or located in
Common7\Packages\schemas\xml\ directory. I tried to use just a "blank
solution" to hold documents and XSDs and it does not work. Anyway it is not
a problem, just iteresting if I am right.

More important is that VS.NET XML editor does not support substitutionGroup
attribute. Does anybody know if thre is a plan to support it in future
releases?

thanks

Hi Yuriy,

That's a timely question. I was just looking into the intellisense support
provided by the schemas in the ...\packages\schemas\xml directory. After
speaking with one of the developers I found out that currenty the editor
only recognizes the schemas in the ...\packages\schemas directories, or
included in the project.

Also, the HTML validation schemas use a limited subset of the XSD schema
functionality. For example, it doesn't support inheritance, nor the
min/maxLength or min/maxOccurs attributes for example. So I suspect that
the substitutionGroup may fall outside that limited subset that is
supported.
