In a previous post I mentioned that Microsoft’s Chris Lovett who is a Program Manager on the XML team released a free XML editor. Since that time the editor has been updated and released as XML Notepad 2007 (Version 2.1) and remains freeware.
Since I have been editing MOSS 2007 Xml files I find that I am using the new version in place of my preferred editor Ultra Edit for editing existing MOSS 2007 Xml files such as the TimeZone.Xml file. Since MOSS 2007 relies quite heavily on Xml files if you need to modify or otherwise edit its Xml files this free utility is another must have utility available at a great price.
I find that the tree view is quite useful when editing very large Xml files in that the collapsed view allows you to quickly locate the information you are searching for. The new version is also compatible with Windows Vista and has many new features as well as new icons and is built on the .Net framework.
