SYMPTOMS

When you try to view the extensible markup language (XML) source for a large XML Schema definition language (XSD) file, and if the solution is under source code control, you are prompted to check out the XSD file.

CAUSE

Visual Studio .NET must check out the file to save information that must be written to the XSD file.

RESOLUTION

Save the file in Visual Studio .NET before you view the source.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
