Is there a Microsoft XML/Schema Editor?

[Denaes]

There are two things I really like about Visual Studio 2003 (I assume that they exist in 2005 as well): 1. Creating a relational dataset as a .xsd (I think, the xml schema document) and 2. Using that schema to do data entry like it was a real database.

 

I have yet to find anything that does these functions outside of Visual Studio. Any chance that they're standalone exe's on the CD/DVD? Or something just like them by Microsoft? Or anyone else really?

 

This app XMLSpy is freeware and it seems that anything that might make it more than a text editor with fancy formatting and validation checking is in the $$$ enterprise studio version... which really, I could just use visual studio as the missile to kill the fly (ie, overkill).

 

I would love to get ahold of something like this. I'm still looking around my VS directories to see if there are any exe's for them...

Try this xml schema editor ... a little cheaper, of course i'm biased (sorry).
