This is the situation. I'm currently working on very old project in Visual Studio 2013. The app was coded by previous developer using classic ASP and the language is visual basic. Now, I'm writing the code live at development server using FTP connection from my PC. However, the ASP syntax highlighting and intellisense is not working which make me very unproductive. I've tried several solution but none work for me so far. Is there any workaround?

Most versions of Visual Studio support editing Classic ASP code, couple of things to keep in mind though. Frontpage Server Extensions is no longer supported, the best approach is to use a mapped drive or better yet store the code in source control (Git, SVN etc.)
Syntax highlighting determines the color and style of source code displayed in the Visual Studio Code editor. It is responsible for colorizing keywords like if or for in JavaScript differently than strings and comments and variable names.
Visual Studio 2013:
From main menu: Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension
add extension "ASP" and select Automatic Editor Selector (XML) and press add
and some users listed that they didn't like VS with ASP, check there: A good IDE for classic ASP?
