Silverlight 1.0 Intellisense in Visual Studio 2005

Sunday, May 27, 2007

Intellisense is not installed by default in Visual Studio 2005, however can be easily installed.  The SDK contains a schema (silverlight.xsd) which defines how Silverlight XAML files should be defined and what is valid, as remember XAML is just XML.  All you have to do is simply place a copy of the xsd into your Schema folder, which by default is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas

Next time you open Visual Studio, you will have intellisense for your Silverlight XAML.  Apart from x:Name which doesn't appear to be liked...but that's only a small point.
