I’m developing simple CUDA app. I followed steps given on http://www.ademiller.com/blogs/tech/2010/10/visual-studio-2010-adding-intellisense-support-for-cuda-c/ but still there is no color in .cu file. I mean everything is simply in black color what could be the reason?
I’m able to run program.

    add the cu extension

    This image says it all. Go to Tools > Options, then select Text Editor in the left column. Then click on File Extension as shown. Type cu under extension, pick Microsoft Visual C++ as the editor, and then hit Add. In my experience, this is all that was necessary to make Visual Studio interpret/color my .cu files with c++ syntax.

    Also note that this is similar to what the link you posted suggests. This method is simply a visual description of that. Also note that I didn’t really do the extra steps listed on that website either because having shared and device and all colored didn’t seem that important.

    Hope that helps.
