Same for #region / #endregion tags. VS.NET 2005 supports folding in XML files. Can the WiX schema be changed to take advantage of this? For example, there could be a UITexts collection for UIText nodes; a Properties collection for Property nodes; a ProgressTexts collection for ProgressText nodes - there are several other examples. In my opinion, this would also encourage people in general to write code in a more structured way, aiding readability. We would hopefully end up with setup source code where the new reader knows to look in the xyz place for a UIText node, and so on. As well as obviously being able to fold the code out of sight, to maximise screen real-estate, arranging only the bits of the file that the developer is interested in to be on-screen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-03-21 18:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 Interesting idea, but I'd rather see the tools built on top of the schema become smarter about folding than the language itself. Perhaps there could be some special comments that support folding - ideally this would be a Visual Studio (or whatever editor you use) feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=1255094&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
