SSIS Package Support #5

Closed dallyhorton closed 9 years ago

dallyhorton commented 9 years ago

Right clicking a SSIS package and selecting View Code displays the package XML. In this mode the XPath extension doesn't work. Saving a .dtsx file with an .xml file extension and opening within Visual Studio works perfectly. So does opening a .dtsConfig file.

Hi dallyhorton,

The XPathInformation plugin attaches itself to any Visual Studio editor window which identifies it's content as XML. You could try to follow this guide to associate the .dtsx file extension with the XML editor. I've never worked with SSIS packages so I haven't tried it myself.
