Visual Studio. Net (7)

Edit Environment

Visual Studio provides a single code editor for all languages supported by VS. NET, while providing specific functions for each language. Its editor introduces some enhancement functions in the editing environment, such as Word filling, incremental search, code highlighting, indent text, marking row numbers, color printing, and shortcuts. The editor also provides many features designed for specific languages, for example, it can automatically complete the input of these strings when you enter the prototype and function call.

In addition to programming languages, this editor also provides support for HTML documents, web pages, and even XML compiling processes. In fact, I would like to load one of my XML documents into VS. NET and then see the keywords I use in XML, such as XML declarations and attributes, highlighted. Further, the editor also provides a view of source code and data. In the data view, the structure of the document is displayed in the window on the left. When you select an XML Element in the cascade structure, the right part of the window will display its child elements and allow you to view the element data in depth. This feature is really cool! However, I also found that not all XML documents can be loaded into the data view. When a document with an unpredictable structure is loaded to the data view, the editor may be confused.

Another surprise brought by Visual Studio. NET is that you can create an XML Scheme Based on a document instance. Open a document instance. By default, a document source view is displayed. You can stay in the source program view or switch to the data view. Right-click the view and select "create Scheme" from the pop-up menu ". Once the XML Scheme has been created, a reference to it will be inserted into the original document instance. For those who don't want to write XML solutions from the beginning, Visual Studio. NET allows you to quickly complete your work.
