Diff for XAML files in change set view

Hi James,

what I just tried (Eclipse) was:

Go to the Eclipse>Window>Preferences

In Team>Jazz Source control>File Properties it is possible to add extensions to the text resource type.

Also on the file in the context menu Team>Change File Properties you can modify this for just one file.

There might be more options to do so, I might even be missing something but that would be what I'd try.

How did you get these files a being recognized as binary? At least my Eclipse, if I create a file manually I always get text type. Are there other associations or settings in the Eclipse properties?

I am using RTC 3 and have some files with .xaml extensions. These are just text files but the change set explorer (viewed via the web interface in browser) does not show a diff for these files. It gives this reason:

Differences between the Before and After states of the file cannot be computed
because neither of the content types of the states can be displayed: application/unknown, application/unknown

Works just fine for other files, .cs for example.

Any help greatly appreciated,

James

You could multi-select the files in the Solution Explorer and choose the Jazz Properties menu option. That brings up a single Jazz properties dialog where you can change the MIME type of multiple files.
The Jazz Properties dialog if opened for multiple files will show only properties that are the same across all files - say maybe repository URL, component etc. If the files have different MIME types, it will display a blank for the for MIME type property value, but if you then set it to a specific value the VS Client will set it across all the files you selected.
