I'm trying to edit an XML schema in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC, but when I go to the toolbox (with the schema open and focused) there's absolutely nothing in the Toolbox view, even when every tutorial out there that I've read tells me that there should be. I've tried using the context menu option for resetting the Toolbox to no effect. Is there something I'm missing ? Something I need to install to get this feature of Visual Studio going ?
In Visual Studio, open the File menu and select New > File. Or, use the Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut. In the New File dialog box, select XML Schema and then select Open. A new file is created.
The Toolbox window displays controls that you can add to Visual Studio projects. To open Toolbox, choose View > Toolbox from the menu bar, or press Ctrl+Alt+X. You can drag and drop different controls onto the surface of the designer you are using, and resize and position the controls.
To add a tool to the toolboxRight-click a toolbox tab node, and then click Add New Element Tool or Add New Connection Tool.
This an old question, I know, but for anyone that comes across this looking for the XML Schema tab in the Visual Studio 2010 Toolbox: There is none. Microsoft didn't include it in the newer versions of Visual Studio and they don't seem to have plans to add one. I'm using a similar tool provided with Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php (pick a package with XML Tools).
