How to add NHibernate XML schema to Visual Studio?

Question

I'm learning NHibernate and I added <hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2"> to App.config. Visual Studio reported a message:

Could not find schema information for the element 'urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2:hibernate-configuration'.

I know this is not a problem, but if VS knew the schema, IntelliSense would work. How can I add the schema?

Answer 1

Copy the two .xsd from the folder Required_Bins from the NHibernate download to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas. If you use other version of VS than 2008 (or if you have VS installed elsewhere), change the path accordingly.

Answer 2

Just copy the nhibernate.xxx.xsd files into your

%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio %version%\xml\Schemas 

folder.

Answer 3

Just include the XSD files in any of your projects or as Solution Items.
