So you’re using Windows and want to edit your xaml files every once in a while with vi/vim/gvim, but vim doesn’t recognize xaml as an xml file and doesn’t give you nice syntax highlighting? Simple fix. In your home directory, create a vimfiles/ftdetect/myrules.vim file with the following contents:
" We set the type to XML only if no type was detected yet
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xaml setfiletype xml
" OR unconditionally
"au BufRead,BufNewFile *.xaml set filetype=xml
