Message sets overview

A message set is a container for grouping messages and associated message resources (elements, types, groups).

A message set is a folder in a message set project that contains a messageSet.mset file. The name of the folder is the name of the message set. A message set project can contain just one message set.

When you create a new message set, a new message set project is automatically created with a name that is the same as that of the message set.

You can base your new message set on an existing message set. In this case, all the definitions in the existing message set are copied into the new message set.

When you have created your message set, you must specify the following key properties:
Message Domain
The message domain of the message set. This property is used when parsing and writing all messages that are defined within the message set.
Use namespaces
Indicates whether the message definitions that you create within the message set are XML namespace aware.
