I have access to the standard "protocol Schema" xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/protocol in DIS but when I add in the propertyConfiguration.xml or other advanced XML files, DIS in Visual studio doesn't recognise any help when you go to add in extra lines using the <> feature.
Am I missing something or do I need to import a particular library to access the config feature?
PropertyConfiguration xmlns="http://www.skyline.be/config/propertyconfiguration"

Hi Nathan,
I am not sure if these schemas are available in DIS. However, you can find these schemas in a DMA (C:\Skyline DataMiner\Tools\Schemas)
Hope it helps.

Do note that the XSDs at C:\Skyline DataMiner\Tools\Schemas are not up to date anymore and can't be relied upon.
Thank you all for your help.
DIS currently does not include these schemas. The only schemas that are included are the protocol, Automation script and function XSD that are available in the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/SkylineCommunications/Skyline.DataMiner.XmlSchemas.
If you have DataMiner installed on the system, you can add the XSD in Visual Studio. When opening an XML file (e.g. DataMiner.xml), in Visual Studio, an item "XML" should appear in the menu bar. Under that menu, there is an entry "Schemas…" where you can then provide the XSDs (e.g. DataMinerSchema.xsd).
Then you should have IntelliSense.
Note however that these XSD will not provide textual information as the ones in the XmlSchemas repo do. To have more context about a specific tag or attribute, consult the docs at: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Reference/Skyline_DataMiner_Folder/More_information_on_certain_files_and_folders/Aggregation.html.
