GetXml() Output To Look Pretty Again

Published: 5/11/2005 | Updated: 5/11/2005 |  Discuss

Ever since Visual Studio.NET 2002 retired, I’ve been missing an important feature: you could go to the Immediate window and type ?[DataSet].GetXml(). The output was a nicely formatted XML document. When VS.NET 2003 shipped this formatting was broken and thus became useless.

To my surprise, even in VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 it is broken. At least, MS folks know about it now and will hopefully fix it. I just can’t believe this wasn’t reported before because I’ve seen people ask about it in newsgroups.

Speaking of which: I’d appreciate your vote on this bug.
