For a while I have been wishing Unity generated .csproj files would include XAML files. If Unity could do this, I'd be able to edit XAML directly within a single Visual Studio instance instead of having to switch back and forth to Blend. If you just add a XAML file to a Unity generated ,csproj the change will be overwritten when Unity regenerates the project.

Today I learned that you can control which file extensions appear within the generated Visual Studio project. Go to Project Settings -> Editor -> Additional Extensions to Include



... results in



Yes! Perhaps the Noesis Unity installer might automate this step and add .xaml to the list of included file extensions.

Are you able to visually edit XAMLs this way? Beause at least in C++, we need to switch to Blend project (included in the same solution) to see Blend output.
This is a great suggestion, I need to figure out how to change that setting from Noesis Unity installer, I hope that's possible.

The designer surface area does not work. I use it for text editing. I'm old school -- the preview is in my head. :)
