VS 2010 HTML 5 Intellisense

Here you can find an install for the HTML 5 Validation in Visual Studio 2010.

An error I was getting right away when trying this was:
Validation (HTML 5): Attribute ‘name’ is not a valid attribute of element ‘input’.

I checked the latest HTML 5 published spec here.
It definitely lists a name attribute for the input element. Therefore I needed to manually insert this attribute into the html_5.xsd file. You can find this file in the directory “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html”

Now it is working like I expected it to.

Also don’t forget to let VS 2010 know you want to use this validation. To do that you must use the Menu:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->HTML->Validation
And Choose HTML 5 in Target Dropdown List

 try
            {
                var settings = new Settings(newContent.Properties);
                using (var editor = new SourceCodeEditor(settings))
                {
                    return editor.ShowDialog();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                var buffer = new StringBuilder();
                buffer.Append(ex.Message);
                buffer.AppendLine();
                buffer.Append(ex.StackTrace);

                MessageBox.Show(buffer.ToString(), "Exception", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
                return DialogResult.OK;
            }

Started a new Blog

Hello everyone.

I have been developing for over 10 years with Microsoft Web Technologies.

• Classic ASP (aka ASP 3.0)
• ASP.NET Web Application Projects  v1.1-4 (aka Webforms)
• ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Application Projects v4

After many years of reading other people’s blogs for clues on how to solve many different development issues, I have finally started my own.

Hope you enjoy and I look forward to your comments.
