Hi,

using VSIP I have programmed a graphical editor for certain XML files for
which I need to save it's layout in a different file that the edited one.
For instance I want the files userfile.xml and userfile.xmx to be recognized
as one single project item and get shown in the solution explorer just like
e.g. cs and resx files. How can I do this.

Thanks in advance,
Munir

Hi Munir,

For multiple files to be shown has one, the project system needs to be
aware of the fact that they should be shown as one. You would need your own
project system to achieve this. In Whidbey (VS 2005), Project Flavors (aka
project subtype) may allow you to do this without writting an entire
project system.
