Hello, I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and (perhaps after a machine crash) xml/ xsd/xslt files are no longer recognized by Visual Studio for what they are. That is, their syntax is no longer highlighted and intellisense no longer works. Visual Studio 2008 treats xml/xsd/xslt files as ordinary text files. All other files, e.g. C# and VB.Net classes are still highlighted correctly and behave like normal. Any idea what might be causing this? It is as if everything xml related is broken all of a sudden. TIA Yves |

Did you install Visual Studio 2008 SP1? If so, then please check on Connect (http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio) to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has not been reported, then please report it. -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer "p0" <yves.dhondt@gmail.com> wrote in message news:2a845531-b997-4320-9499-bf997918cc89@k37g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... > Hello, > > I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and (perhaps after a machine crash) xml/ > xsd/xslt files are no longer recognized by Visual Studio for what they > are.

Yes, I have SP1 installed. Neither repairing or uninstalling and reinstalling seem to help. I also found the same problem reported in another vstudio newsgroup yesterday: http://groups.google.be/group/microsoft.public.vsnet.ide/browse_= thread/thread/e71bc37e35ce7290?hl=3Dnl# I'm starting to wonder if it could have anything to do with the latest Windows updates. There seems to be no specific update for visual studio, but then again, a fresh install didn't fix the problem. So it might very well be something outside visual studio.

No, actually the problem could be SP1. You may want to see if you can reproduce the problem with Visual Studio 2008 RTM (the original release). -- John Saunders | MVP - Connected System Developer "p0" <yves.dhondt@gmail.com> wrote in message news:cd9877ec-17c6-41c7-8d75-9824e3ee5a3a@y38g2000hsy.googlegroups.com... > Yes, I have SP1 installed. > |
