How to Manage Other Visual Studio Windows

Certain operations in BizTalk Editor use other Microsoft Visual Studio windows, namely the Output window and the Task List window. These windows are used to display output from operations, such as generating sample instance messages and validating schemas and instances. This topic provides step-by-step instructions about managing these windows.

To open the Output window

• In Visual Studio, click on the View menu, and then click Output.

  Note

  If you want to view the file corresponding to a line in the Output window, double-click that line.

To open the Task List window

• In Visual Studio, click on the View menu, and then click Task List.

  Note

  If you want to view the node in a BizTalk schema that corresponds to a task line in the Task List window, double-click that task line.

  By default, the Output window and the Task List window share the same section of the Visual Studio shell. If both windows are open at the same time, they are displayed with named tabs that allow you to switch back and forth between them.
