You can view links for pages outside of your Web application by opening a link diagram on any valid URL. The URL can point to an internal item or to an item on the World Wide Web. When viewing external items, keep the following points in mind:

  • Link View represents all external items with external icons.

  • External items appear as valid, broken, unknown, or pending in a link diagram.

  • Link View displays the run-time view of the links for an external URL. Links to items such as design-time controls do not appear in a link diagram for external items.

  • You cannot open an external item in a default editor from a link diagram.

To view links for pages outside of a project

  1. From the Tools menu, choose View Links on WWW.

  2. In the Address edit box, type the full URL of the page you want to view, and then choose OK.

A new link diagram appears. The new link diagram does not replace the current link diagram, if one is open. You can switch between multiple link diagrams from the Window menu.
