Diff for XAML files in change set view


James Clarke (21122) | asked Jan 10 '11, 8:02 a.m.
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

Is there a way to modify many files at once, which are not in one solution or project? It would like to change the mime type of the *proj/files.

See that thread http://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22905.

You could change the property of the XAML file to text/plain from the Properties View in the VS Client. It won't do it for the file type though, just for that file.

I'll check with the SCM team to see if we can do something similar to xaml files like we did for the CS files, so that they're text/plain by default.
