Title: Loading a .xaml takes some minutes
Post by: deuse on June 30, 2015, 07:35:24 AM

If I'm loading a .xaml file (C#, .NET) for editing in slick, it takes some time. Maybe slick looks for something in the net, maybe the scheme, which slick cannot find or access. Since I only want to edit, validating is not necessary, I don't want this behaviour.

Does anyone know how to turn this off? I already tried to insert some url mapping in Options->Network & Internet Options->URL Mappings, but this didn't help.

Check that you have auto validate off (Tools>Options>Xml/Text Languages>Xml>Formatting turn off "Auto validate on open").

If auto validate is off, it's probably referencing some web address in attempt to build a tag file.

If auto validate is off, please provide a sample an we can look into it.

Hi Clark, thanks for your answer!

Auto validate is off by default.

The beginning of the .xaml reads:
<UserControl x:Class="XY.App.SomeClass"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
             mc:Ignorable="d"
             d:DesignHeight="400" d:DesignWidth="1900" xmlns:my="clr-namespace:XY.App.Controls">

Slick shows the following message:
DTD 'http:\\schemas.microsoft.com\expression\blend\2008' for file 'C:\SomePath\SomeFile.xaml' not found.
If you want to work off-line, use the URL Mappings dialog ("Tools","Options","URL Mappings...") to map a URL to a local path containing the files.

I tried to insert such a mapping, but only to my tmp directory, where no schema files are located. I don't have these files (a quick search at microsoft for these files didn't bring any success), and frankly, I don't want to care for them. I think, slick should be able to suppress the validation.

It isn't validation. It's tag file related stuff (for auto completions and color coding). We will look into this. Thanks

Something must be wrong with the mapping you set up. Sadly, you must use forward slashes (backslashes don't work). I added the following mapping:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008 --> c:\temp\not-found

Now my message doesn't show http:\\... for the DTD that was not found. Instead it shows DTD 'c:\temp\not-found' not found.

Looking into adding some sort of option to never attempt to access an http:// address when opening an XML file.

There's already an option to disable the extra work for accessing the DTD for color coding and auto completions.

Set the macro variable "def_xml_no_schema_list "to ".xml" if you don't ever want this done for any DTD.

That worked! Thank you, Clark! ;D
