Intellisense for the NHibernate XML Schemas

I saw Chris Bowen speak at Microsoft in Waltham, MA last week and he tipped me off to a (new?) feature in Visual Studio 2005.  In Visual Studio 2005, you can make the IDE detect custom XML schemas and then let you do intellisense.  That got me thinking about how to set that up for NHibernate.  A quick search on Google got me to a post on Aaron Stebner's blog with instructions on how to set it up. 

It's amazing simple. 

  1. Download the NHibernate source and go to the “src\NHibernate“ directory
  2. Copy nhibernate-configuration-2.0.xsd, nhibernate-mapping-2.0.xsd, and nhibernate-generic.xsd to the Visual Studio “schemas“ directory.  By default, the schemas directory is “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas“.
  3. Restart Visual Studio

That's it.  No more hunting around and guessing what is valid NHibernate mapping or configuration xml syntax.

You can do that in VS2003 too. I only put nhibernate-mapping-2.0.xsd into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml

It's a little funny, because it worked perfectly for me, but not for my coworker. Maybe his VS schemas dir is somewhere else, but it worked for me anyway.
