Using VS as an XSL IDE

I am evaluating VS 2005 as an IDE to develop a .net project using MSXML 4 as the XSL processor.

We have 4 developers working with the XSL alone that have no interest or knowledge of the back end process producing the XML.

Nonetheless because VS 2005 offers debugging functionality for MSXML 4, we would like to try to use it as our development environment.

I see you can easily create all sorts of projects in VS 2005 but it's not clear what kind of project one should really use for a simple XSL project, excluding all the backend stuff.

Is there a particular project format for XML / XSL or do I have to use a website project, or any other non XML / XSL specific project type

    VS 2005 provides XSLT debugging functionality for managed XslCompiledTransform processor. MSXML4 should not be used from managed code at all. It's OK to run it in a separate process though.

    Hope it helps,
