How to Change CSS Validation Scheme in VS2010

Is it possible to change CSS Validation scheme in VS2010

You have a dropdown in the top menu where you can switch the css validation. It's called Cascading stylesheet version for validation. If you can't see it right click on the menu and check Style sheet so it will show.

how to set the default css validation scheme in visual studio 2010?

i found the answer on http://forums.asp.net/t/1486063.aspx/1

well its seems that to change the default css validation you need to change the default html validation from Tools>Options>Text Editor>HTML>Validation.

so i changed the target to XHTML 1.0 Transitional and now the css is validated to 2.1 by default :)

First, right click on the toolbar in VS2010 and enable 'Style Sheet'. Then once a CSS file is open and has focus you can change the target CSS validator from the drop down.

Setting default CSS validation schema in Visual Studio 2013?

There doesn't seem to be a UI for changing the schema version but it can be done manually.

Navigate to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html\ 

There should be a file called html_5.xsd that contains the the setting.

Look for the vs:cssschema element (which should be near the top of the file) and change it from :

vs:cssschema="CSS 2.1"

to

vs:cssschema="CSS 3.0"

After re-starting Visual Studio the CSS schema validation version should change.

Make CSS 3.0 the Default in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Web Update

I had a similar problem after SP1.

I had to specifically install the "CSS 3 Intellisense Schema" found here -->

Restart VS and it started remembering what I had set last. HTH

How to make VS2010 quietly reload files in editor

In Tools/Options, navigate to Documents and check "Auto-Load changes, if saved."

EDIT: note that this will affect all files; as far as I know it's not possible to enable this selectively. I'm sure an extension could change that!
