Liquid Technologies announced today that is has become a VSIP (Visual Studio Industry Partner) Technology Partner.

Membership of this programme gives Liquid Technologies developers access to the Visual Studio source code as well as early access to upcoming Microsoft development and product technologies.

Andrew Farrell, Development Director says “ We are very pleased to have been accepted as a VSIP Partner. We already offer integrated plugins for Visual Studio for our XML Schema Editor, XPath Viewer and Web Services Test Client. The early support we will receive from Microsoft , will enable us to enhance our plugin offerings and ensure that Liquid XML Studio is seamlessly integrated with the new release of Visual Studio 2010.”

Liquid XML Studio 2010 launched

Liquid XML Studio 2010 is building on the success of the 2009 release by introducing a new entry level Starter Edition and adding new features or enhancements to the existing product line.

As well as many enhancements to the look and feel, major improvements have been made to the docking facilities of the windows, with improved multi monitor support making the IDE much easier to use.

All the Editors now support design, split and source code views which syncronise in real-time.

The new WSDL Graphical Editor greatly simplifies the task of designing complex WSDL.

As well as adding 64 bit support for Windows and Visual C++, the Developer Edition provides support for Windows CE devices (Mobile Phones and PDA’s) and is now included with code generation for C# and Visual Basic .NET for the .NET Compact Framework.

XML Schema Tutorial

Hey,

We have had excellent feedback saying the XML Schema Tutorial on our site has really helped to learn and understand XML concepts whilst using our XML Editor.

We had a couple of not so deliberate grammar issues which we have cleaned up, so if you are new to XML, please check it out.

Legacy Code Generation Issue

We recently got a support question regarding the fact the XML Data Binder 2009 Service Pack 1 generated more files and different code than the previous release.

This is true as we fixed an issue when using Element References with inheritance and changing the type within the XML Document using xsi:type="...". This issue was due to the Element Refs not using interfaces and so this was fixed.

The effect of this was that users generating code from schema that made use of Element Refs would see different code generated from the previous version, and if they did not use xsi:type would not benefit them.

In order to resolve this, we have release Liquid XML Studio 2009 version 7.1.4 which include a new option in the XML Data Binding Wizard that allows you to select whether or not Element Refs generate as Interfaces.
