Run and debug XML code in Visual studio

[Anonymous]

Hi,

The company I work for has an automated transmittal in the vault: you select a folder and you get all the drawings inside this folder listen on a formatted document. Its a .rdlc file and the code is XML made by a 3th company.

I heard its possible to view this document (not just looking at xml code) in visual studio.

I am only familiar with VB.NET code and forms.

I am using visual basic 2010 express.

I can see the code, but I wish to run and debug the code and see the result. How do I this?

This question might not be entirely on topic to inventor customization but possible follow up questions will be.

Thanks in advance,

Arnold

Hi Arnold,

Sorry, but your question is completely off topic, we are dealing with Autodesk related technologies only. We are not familliar with the 3rd party .rdlc proprietary format that you mention. You should seek support with the company that produces this format rather than here, they will be probably more qualified to help you.

Beside, XML is a markup language rather than a programming language, it typically cannot be compiled and executed, so I am not sure what you mean by run and debug the code. Maybe the XML .rdlc can be processed by a custom tool that will parse the file and generate compilable code, but in no way XML can be compiled witout an extra step.

Sorry for not being more helpful, if you have Inventor programming related questions, we would be happy to address them.

Thank you,

Philippe.

Thanks for the reply,

I will try and search my answer on a more appropriate platform.

Your answer did help me though.
