Visual Studio 2008 sp1 classic asp Intellisense and Outlining not functioning

Question

As the topic suggests I've got VS 2008 with sp1 installed and am not receiving full Intellisense or ANY outlining capabilities when editing classic asp pages. My coworker is also using VS2008sp1 and has outlining working correctly (but he has no idea why)

I've made a screen, you can find here Classic asp outlining issue screen shot 1

Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing something simple?

Thanks for your help -Birk

Answer 1

You can reset your settings by going to Tools -> Import/Export Settings -> Reset All Settings. I suggest you back up your current settings just in case.

You can also run devenv /setup from the command-line and it will reset your Intellisense and such.

Answer 2

In Visual Studio, go to TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> Text Editor -> Basic -> VB Specific

and check "Enable Outlining Mode"

Answer 3

• Tools / Options / Text Editor / File Extension
• extension = asp
• editor = "Web Form Editor"
• click "Add"
• Enjoy
