Parent Elements

Element

Description

View Element (Format)

Defines a view that is used to display one or more .NET Framework objects.

When defining a wide view, you can add the AutoSize element or the ColumnNumber but you cannot add both.

In most cases, only one definition is required for each wide view, but it is possible to have multiple definitions if you want to use the same view to display different .NET Framework objects. In those cases, you can provide a separate definition for each object or set of objects.

For more information about the components of a wide view, see Wide View Components.

Example

<View>
  <Name>process</Name>
  <ViewSelectedBy>
    <TypeName>System.Diagnostics.Process</TypeName>
  </ViewSelectedBy>
  <WideControl>
    <WideEntries>...</WideEntries>
  </WideControl>
</View>
