Visual Studio Text Editor Does Not Recognize JavaScript/JScript
-
Hello all, I've got an interesting problem. Since I have installed Visual Studio 2008, when I open a javascript file (.js) it opens in the script editor, which it should, but it does not have syntax highlighting. I figured this would be an easy fix, so I went into Tools -> Options -> Text Editor and found that my visual studio does not have JScript available as a language! I'm not sure why, and I also have Visual Web Developer Express 2008 on my PC, which does have JScript available in this menu. So, I attempted to use the import/export wizard and export the JScript settings from VWD to VS, but to no avail, VS would not let me import them. Has anyone seen this problem before? What can I do to get JavaScript Text Editing support in Visual Studio? Thanks, Shawn

I am having the same problem - I think. The syntax highlighting is completely different than the Express edition, for example comments are hilighted with a black background and white lettering rather than green. Also, intellisense doesn't work at all.

I have been informed that it apparently is an issue between VWD and VS. I was told to uninstall both visual web developer express and visual studio. Then reinstall visuall studio and it should work fine. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to try this yet. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks, Shawn
