Extending Built-in Resource Types with XML Authoring

You can begin with an automatically generated component model, as described above, and then customize the component model by editing XML. You can edit a component model's XML by using the Advanced Edit feature on the component's Component > Details page. You can also edit the XML by downloading it to your local system and editing it with an XML-schema-validating editor, such as Turbo XML.

Editing XML enables you to:

• Customize the component with additional variables

• Add calls to extended control services, such as starting and stopping IIS or Windows services
