Title Body

I've got an XML config file with some really long strings. Generally, I format my source files, etc. so that they can be read without scrolling. I'd like to do the same to this config file. Is there a way to split the string across more than one line? Hopefully, what I'm asking for is obvious but a picture says a thousand words so, e.g. value, below. <add name="validation" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Integration.WCF.ValidationElement, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Integration.WCF, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /> If I break the above string to look like this: <add name="validation" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Integration.WCF.ValidationElement, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Validation.Integration.WCF, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" /> my apps fails with: "An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for system.serviceModel/behaviors: Extension element 'validation' cannot be added to this element. Verify that the extension is registered in the extension collection at system.serviceModel/extensions/behaviorExtensions. Parameter name: element " It seems that it's sensitive to line-breaks in the string.
