XML Intellisense for NHibernate

Posted in .net, visual studio by Sydney du Plooy on May 16, 2009

nhibernate-intellisenseUsing NHibernate requires the writing of some tedious XML-based configuration mapping files. Remembering all the tags and attributes can sometimes be overwhelming. Thankfully the contributors decided to include intellisense hints, which are in nhibernate-configuration.xsd and nhibernate-mapping.xsd.

In order to have the hints available in Visual Studio 2008 copy the files into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\XML\Schemas and restart Visual Studio.
