VS 2005 as ASP Editor

M

Matt

I just recently upgraded from VS 2003 to VS 2005. I use FrontPage 2003 as
well. In FrontPage, I configured my ASP editor to be VS 2005. When I open a
page through FrontPage in VS 2005 it seems as though it does not recognize
it as an ASP page. There is no color coding on the code (comments are not
green, etc.). My ASP code is within <%%> so I do not know what the problem
is. Everything worked out great in VS 2003. Please help. Without the color
coding it makes the code a lot harder to read and interpret.

You might want to post this in one of the dot net groups.
This isn't a FrontPage issue,

I posted to one over a week ago and have not received a response. Figured I
would try a FrontPage group considering FrontPage has a part in this
equation. Also other FrontPage users might have experienced this issue and
have a solution for it.

Did you post to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet?

I do not think this is not a .NET issue. My ASPX pages are fine. It is my
ASP pages that are not recognized. I posted to a Visual Studio group and no
response. So that is why I posted here. I am sure if I posted in a .NET
group I would get blasted there for posting.

Ah yes. I should have said microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general.

I have figured this issue out and wanted to share.



Visual Studio 2005 does not support classic ASP. I reinstalled VS 2003 as a
side-by-side install with VS 2005 and reconfigured my FrontPage editors. I
now open my .asp pages with VS 2003 and it works ok for me.
