No CSS syntax coloring or intellisense

Posted March 11th, 2008 by JannieT

I am evaluating VS.php 2.4 standalone edition.
Syntax coloring and intellisense works great for php, smarty templates, html etc, but not for css style sheets.
If I go Tools | Options, I can't find CSS listed in the Text Editor branch with all the other extensions supported.

Thank you for any advice

    Still not right

    Not sure what you mean. I already have Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (VWD2005 for short) installed. Are you saying that if I want CSS support while developing web apps, I should not use VS.php, but use VWD2005 instead or do you mean that if I re-install VWD2005 that it will change VS.php so that VS.php will then start recognising CSS files?

    Thank you.

    VS.Php should start

    I re-downloaded and re-installed Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition, and it did not change the behaviour of VS.php standalone version. Is there anyone out there who actually got the latest VS.php (standalone version) configured to support CSS? Should I report a bug?

    Will be so great if this could be made to work, because CSS intellisense in Web Developer is awesome.

    Try run this on the command

    Try run this on the command line:

    devenv /setup

    Nothing happened

    I found devenv in the following directory:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\
    Running it with /setup command line parameter doesn't do anything. Without the switch the IDE opens up as usual.

    Thank you
