The steps need to be: 1) From inside Visual Studio.NET right click on the .build file, and from the context-menu select open with.. 2) Select html/xml editor, and click Set default (so next time you can skip the open with) 3) Put an XML schema from in c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio.NET\Common7\Packages\schemas\xml\ which can be got from http://nant.sf.net/schema/ 4) Match the schema you put in the xml\ directory with the .build file, e.g. <project xmlns=http://nant.sf.net/schema/ 5) Should now have Intellisense and validation!
