Xsd Designer - How do i edit in XML?

In VS2003 when i opened up an xsd file i had the option of editing using the Dataview or the Xml view. In whidbey (Beta2) when i open up an xsd file it opens up using the xsd designer... okay but somehow i cant switch to xml view. I want to edit the XML and not use the designerTongue Tied !!

To do that i need to use open with and choose xml editor! Thats kinda lame since i have to work with xsd files reggularly and i always forget to use open with. Is there a setting or some menu option im missing that allows xml editing of xsd files? Just wanted to check before i post a suggestion in ladybug...

Thanks in advance

There are two designers that operate on .xsd files, the "Dataset Editor" and the "XML Schema Editor". Both editors will support "View Code", but "View Code" in the Dataset Editor will take you to the C# or VB code behind the dataset, and "View Code" in the "XML Schema Editor" will take you to the XML text editor. You should file a ladybug suggestion if you want "View Markup" support on the DataSet Editor that takes you to the XML Text view.

Actually I preferred the Visual Studio .NET 2003 version that allowed you to flip from one view to the other. Much more user friendly with the buttons right there on the window (though I would prefer tabs). It would also be great if you could set which was the default view on load in the Options dialog. I do like the toolset for XML though.

I agree. Apparently that design was "too complicated" or something because they took it out of almost everything in vs 2005. Makes for a pita in almost all scenarios I've had to use their backwards replacements.
