Question

As you can see from the screenshot, vs2008 thinks asp tags are hyperlinks. I have reset all the settings on it but the issue is still there. I have tried on different projects and the same issue is present. I have moved the projects to another visual studio installation and problem has gone until I move them back.

Any one knows why this happens?

Answer 1

Does it happen for tags without an asp: prefix.

e.g. Can you create a UserControl, and drag that in and give it a different tag prefix

<cc1:MyCustomControl />

If not, then it sounds like something has gotten set on your system that treats asp as a protocol 🙁

But to be honest, I’m at a complete loss as to why this might happen.
