XML Schema Referenced/Dependent Resources View

The Referenced/Dependent Resources view displays the hierarchy or dependencies for resources included in an XML Schema.

The Referenced/Dependent Resources is useful when you want to start from an XML Schema (XSD) file and build and review the hierarchy of all the other XSD files that are imported, included or redefined in the given XSD file. The view is also able to build the tree structure, that is the structure of all other XSD files that import, include or redefine the given XSD file. The scope of the search is configurable (the current project, a set of local folders, etc.)

If you want to see the references or dependencies of an XML schema, select the desired schema in the ProjectProject Explorer view and choose Show referenced resources or Show dependent resources from the contextual menu.

Note:

The Move resource or Rename resource actions give you the option to update the references to the resource.
