How to enable IntelliSense in .skin files in Visual Studio 2005

A co-worker of mine shared this with me recently.  It was one of the biggest annoyances in Visual Studio 2005 if you ask me!

> IntelliSence everywhere! That's one of the biggest features in new Visual Studio .NET 2005 (VS 2005). But guess what, it doesn't work out of the box in .skin file  - the place you really need it. Those of you who worked with ASP.NET 2.0 themes understand me . Good news - there is a workaround to enable this feature. Do the following: > > 1. Go to Tools->Options menu. > > 2. Pick Text Editor -> File Extesion fom a tree at the left part of Options dialog. > > 3. Type skin in Extesion text box. > > 4. Select User Control Editor from Editor dropdown. > > 5. Click Add and then Ok to close dialog and re-open your skin files. > > 6. Say something corny about Microsoft. > > Enjoy!
