ok so until recently I just let VS set the doctype in new documents for me and I have not worried about it. That was until HTML5 now it is recomended you use <!DOCTYPE html> now this is nice and all however, VS changes it to <!DOCTYPE html /> after you type it in. after spending about an hour trying to figure out why IE10 was defaulting to Quirks mode I finaly found out that you can not close a doctype tag. While I am very OCD and believe all tags should both have an open and close or are self closing no exception, it puzzles me why doctype seems to be the only exception? And why did MS not simply fix this little quirk in IE or at least in VS. I am not sure if it is fixed in 2012 as I am having trouble loading web projects with it. Any Thoughts? or am I just totaly thinking about this all wrong?

How to display parent folder for recent projects
I have a number of client folders with the Company name as the folder name. Within each client folder is the !Web folder where all of the website files are maintained. As I add projects to the list, they all look the same. Is there a way to make Visual Web Developer display the parent folder in addition to the project folder?
Thanks Ahead of time for your help...

VS 2010: properties description missing in Source View
How do i get af description of a properties, in the description box of the properties in Source view?
When I switch to Design View, there is a description of the propertie. When I switch back to the Source View, the description box, has only the headline name of the properties, but not a description og the choise propertie.
For example when I choise propertie BackColor in an asp:Table control. I only get the headline BackColor and not description of, what BackColor is used to. When I switch to Design View the description box add a description of BackColor.
Sometime when I switch back to Scource View, there are still description of BackColor. When I click to other asp control and then go back to the BackColor propertie. The description is missing again. Other time, the description is still there... But why??

Dynamic CSS link and intellisense
Hi all,
I have created a utility DLL, that allows the developers to create a link to a CSS file, by specifying the filename without needing to worry about the location of the file (or indeed the full filename, to accomodate for file versioning).
The developers reference these files like below:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<%= ResourceBuilder.ResolveUrl("main.css") %>" />
The ResourceBuilder utility then resolves the file name to the full URL for the file. This all works (more or less) perfectly.
However, it throws up a complication: We've lost intellisense for the CSS classes within the CSS file.
I'm fairly sure that this is due to the filepath not actually being resolved at Design time, so VS doesn't actually have any awareness of the CSS file to load the intellisense from. But I'm not sure how to set this up to run at design time, so that we can have the intellisense.
Is this even possible? If so, how? Or is it something we just need to accept: That in return for the dynamic linking of the files, we have to sacrifice intellisense?
Thanks

Pasting text with linebreaks to an object variable in debug mode
Hi.
This might seem as an irrelevant need, but I use it very often, and suddently it wont "work".
When debugging in VS 2010, I set a breakpoint on a line, then browse a certain objects members. This object has an XML document member. Now I paste my custom xml document inside the 'InnerXml' property on the document, pushes enter, and the xml on the object is now updated with my custom xml.
This suddently doesent work.
Now I can only paste the first line of the xml document. That means that VS now ignores everthing after the first linebreak. So instead of
<XmlDoc>
<Bla>
</Bla>
</XmlDoc>
I can only paste
<XmlDoc>
I´ve tried fidling with the encoding, but that doesent seem to be the issue.
Any clue?
Thanks alot!

VS2010: Element 'content' is not supported
Hello All,
Something broke in my VS2010 installation and I can't figure it out.
[the problem first became apparant in my existing site, so I tested the problem with a clean, new website]
If I create a brand new website, I get a warning underline (green sqiggly line) under the "<asp:Content ...>" tag. When I hover over the tag, I see the message "Validation (): Element 'content' not supported".
I've seen posts about resetting my settings (doesn't help) and about deleted the Reflected Schemas folder (I don't have one, for some reason). Also, if I try to create a new standard element (like a button), my intellisense does not come up (e.g.: I type "<asp:" and I don't see the usual list of controls come up).
The weird thing, is that if I reset the target framework to 3.5, everything is normal. But as soon as I set the framework back to 4.0 I start to see the erroneous behavior.
This is something that started happening just today, so I'm stumped as to what has happened overnight. Any suggerstions are appreciated.

administrator access only
I have been developing a few projects. One MVC project will only run if I start VS 2010 SP 1 as an administrator. I can edit and save files but I cannot run it without being administrator. The error is to the effect of 'cannot find path' and the error will not show for several minutes. What other information do we need to diagnose and solve the problem?

Debugging Problem in VS 2008
I am having some debugging issues with Visual Studio and I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction. When debugging server-side code that is run as a result of an AJAX call I can step through the code but all of a sudden (usually after 20-30 seconds) it seems like a response is sent back to the client and the JavaScript callback code is executed even though I am not yet done stepping through the code. The returned readyState value indicates that the request is complete (readyState == 4) and the status returns 200. The weirdest part is that once the JavaScript callback code has finished executing, the Visual Studio debugger resumes where it left off before executing the JavaScript callback code. However, when I send back the response to the client the JavaScript callback function does not run again.
This only started to happen recently. Until the last couple of days I was able to debug server-side code without any issues and with no timeout constraints. I checked the ping timout settings of the Application Pool to make sure the Ping Enabled setting is still set to False (it is). Plus I also checked the Connection time-out settings of the Web Site.
Has anyone else experience this and how can I resolve that?
