[!INCLUDEappliesto-sqlas] When you are working with an [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] database in project mode, [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull] creates an XML definition for each object within the project folder. You can view the contents of the XML file for each object within [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull]. You can also edit the XML file directly; however, this is not recommended in most circumstances as you may make changes that make the XML unreadable by [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull].
Note
You cannot view the xml code for an entire project, but rather you view the code for each object because a separate file exists for each object. The only way to view the code for an entire project is to build the project and view the ASSL code in the <project name>.asdatabase file.
-
Open the [!INCLUDEssASnoversion] project in [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull].
-
Right-click the object in Solution Explorer and then click View Code.
The XML code for the object appears in [!INCLUDEssBIDevStudioFull].
