    Intellisense Not Working in Web.config w/ Visual Studio (Web Developer) 2005

    Just had to post this one more time.  This is a hair saving post by Scott Guthrie on how to get intellisense to work again if it stops working in the web.config file and why it stops working, as well as just pointing out how cool the intellisense is in the first place!  Thanks, Scott!  :)

    It was funny - at the Launch event in SF - during one of the asp.net tracks the guy presenting was totally fumbling in his web.config and couldn't figure out which section he needed to be in to add the element he was trying to talk about. He was totally depending on Intellisense.

    Ever since beta2 I'm wondering why the intellisense doesn't work in Skin files. Now even with the RTM it doesn't work, or is there a way to get it working?

    "just pointing out how cool the intellisense is in the first place!"

    This is a feature that is a very [yawn...] standard feature in any decent XML editor. I find it infuriating that a very obvious error in the XML editor and or XSD schema can be swept under the carpet with a 'oh how cool is that in the first place'. As if developers just need to be thankful that it WORK AT ALL. Just a reminder that licenses to use this cost a small fortune (ask any enterprise license holder like myself). I actually expect the product to just work (or be patched) like any software I sell to a client.
