I came up with this really interesting trick today and thought it was well
worth sharing...
Please use with caution and testing before you try this.. use at your own
risk!

If you use Visual InterDev and want your asp+ C# or VB code syntax color
coded do this:

1) right click on any .aspx or .cs file in your project, choose 'open with'
and make the default
editor "HTML editor"

2) at the top of your .aspx pages add these lines: (replace test.aspx with
whatever you want)

<%-- '*** test.aspx ***'
<%@ Page Language="JScript" %> --%>

3) at the top of your .cs files add this line:

//<script '*** test.aspx ***'>

Viola!!! your C# code is now color coded!!
InterDev is fooled into thinking it is looking at jscript code (and colors
it as such)
but because of the similarities of the two languages you will hardly be able
to tell the
difference and it is very nice to have your comments in green and
key words in blue etc.

In both cases the lines you entered above are completely ignored by the aspx
engine
because they are commented out by either the new <%-- --%> serverside
comment (in step 2) or the c# // comment (in step 3) As you write your
..aspx
you should pretend that the file was completely empty.. i.e. even though
there is
that @page directive there you must realize that for all intents and
purposes as
far as your .aspx page goes it ISN'T there. so a real .aspx page might
start of like this:

<%-- '*** test.aspx ***'
<%@ Page Language="JScript" %> --%>
<%@ Page Language="c#" %>

Again the first two lines are ignored by the asp+ engine their only purpose
is to fool
Interdev that the page is javascript so it will colorcode your c# code
The third line would be your 'real' @ Page Directive. everything below you
would
write just as you have been doing .aspx files

A bonus is that even autocomplete will work for built in objects like
"Session"
or "Server" from asp 3.0 javascript. of course this could get you into
trouble
being as there are differneces in the new objects (so use that feature
cautiously)

This can be applied to vb code as will only in your .vb files...
(I haven't tested this with vb code so you might have to play with getting
it to work
but I know it is possible as long as you understand the general concept)

for .aspx files:
<%-- '*** test.aspx ***'
<%@ Page Language="VBScript" %> --%>

for .vb files:
'<script '*** test.aspx ***'>

Hope you are as excited by this as I am! ;-)
All I can say is WOO HOO! Boy does this make life easier!
