This happened to me in Visual Studio 2008 pre and post 2008 sp1 on more than one computer and to someone else I know, so it can’t be an isolated incident.
Seemingly random, every so often I lose all syntax highlighting in my aspx page (the html) so that Visual Studio now looks like a really expensive version of notepad.
Does anyone know why does happens? Better yet, anyone know how to fix it?
it happened to me after an uninstall of visual studio using a removal tool at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb968856.aspx
I had to run this before upgrading sql server management studio to 2008 version
syntax highlighting has disappeared since because of package loading failures. I didn’t find the fix yet so if anybody has an idea…
