Diff for XAML files in change set view

I'm using Visual Studio with the RTC plugin.

Our RTC admin has Eclipse and we did try adding an entry for *.xaml under Window > preferences > Team > Jazz Source Control > File properties > text > xml. But it didn't change anything in the RTC change set view when we went back to the web interface. Would you expect this change to apply retrospectively or only for new files?

As for how they got set to binary, they were just added like that automatically when checked in.

I'll also see what happens if we set the type on the individual files.

Thanks for your help,

James

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
