I am trying to get the CAML for a custom content type that I am creating. What I am really doing is creating the content type in Visual Studio 2010 and then deploying that content type to my sandbox. At that point, I am modifying the content type using the SharePoint interface (i.e changing advanced settings, adding columns, etc). What I would like to do, is after I have made my changed, update my CAML in Visual Studio to match my changes.

I want to do this because I am creating custom fields and content types for my project and want to create a solution with these customizations. Since there doesn't seem to be a way to do this (create custom fields and content types) as a solution using SharePoint without putting them into a list, I am using Visual Studio and CAML for this. I also want to use Visual Studio and CAML so that I can put these CAML xml files in source control so that I can version my custom fields and custom types.

I have tried using tools like http://spcamlviewer.codeplex.com/ but that doesn't seem to work with SP 2010.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I wish Visual Studio would just have an update from SP button after I have deployed my solution and made changes on the server so it would sync VS from the SP server.
