Viewing XAML from a compiled DLL

Question

I'm trying to develop a Visual Studio 2010 extension and it would be a lot easier if I could see what the Visual Studio XAML looks like. I used Reflector and the BAML disassembler but that didn't seem to give me what I want. The URI for the XAML file I'm looking for is:

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal;component/mainwindow/mainwindow.xaml

The DLL that this was found in was Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll. Does this mean there should be a resource by that name? I don't see one in Reflector at all.

Answer 1

Try looking in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.resources.dll. That seems to contain the BAML resources.
