Forces .LESS files to open in the CSS editor, without having to change settings or adding HTML tags to your LESS file.

Intellisense for .less file

Oh, actually when I restarted visual studio, it worked with an initial warning - "visual studio has encountered a problem because of extension", after that it worked normally, hope it's not an issue. I was silly, I should have try this before asking on stack. May be if somebody else will face the same problem, at least he would save his time by looking at this.

How to turn on Visual Studio 2008 .css Intellisense on .less file

No, you can't. Two years ago we (our dev. team) can't even turn on proper syntax highlighting (this makes me crazy). But you can easily edit .less in Sublime Text 2 or in Adobe Dreamweaver as I do, after hours of investigations.

DotLess IntelliSense In Visual Studio 2010

For some reason, I found out the solution right after I posted this question. Here are two threads from StackOverflow that talk about this issue and provide solutions that actually work:

P.S: I used the solution proposed by Noah Richards and it works perfectly.

Well, I'm sorry about that, the lesson I learned from this thread is to look much better for answers before posting next time.

Can I get Visual Studio to provide Intellisense and syntax coloring for Less Css?

If you are using Visual Studio 2012 you can use Web Essentials 2012. It uses syntax highlighting similar to Visual Studio's CSS syntax highlighter. It compiles to CSS on save.

Update

• 2.4-2.5 Less syntax highlighting was disabled
• As of 2.6 Less syntax highlighting was turned back on
• As of 3.8 Less syntax highlighting is disabled for VS2012.

Open a file in Visual Studio's CSS Source Editor

Midscape's Web Workbench Visual Studio Extension adds support for .less files, including syntax highlighting and Intellisense. It also adds support for SASS and CoffeeScript.

How can I get CSS Intellisense to work in .scss files, in Visual Studio 2012?

1. Go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > File Extension
2. Add the extension "scss" and associate it with "CSS Source Editor"
3. Go down to Tools > Options > Text Editor > CSS
4. Check the box under Statement Completion for "Auto list members"

This will give you CSS completion, but unfortunately it looks like you'll no longer get autocomplete for SASS stuff. So pick your poison until somebody comes along with a better answer. :)

No intellisense for bootstrap classes in html files on Angular - visual studio 2017

While working with frameworks like Angular, we can install dependencies using npm, bower, and add the non-minified css file into project, then we can find the intellisense works as expected, please check this doc.

visual studio 2010 c++ intellisense

Make your project a pure native C++ project (No CLR). Intellisense support for C++/CLI was removed in Visual Studio 2010, so only use C++/CLI where you absolutely must.

A couple of references below:

• C++/CLI IntelliSense in Visual Studio vNext (VS Team Blog)
• No IntelliSense for c++/cli in visual studio 2010?

How do I turn off intellisense for javascript?

In Visual Studio Tools > Options > Text Editor > JScript

In corresponding panel as Statement completion
Uncheck Autolist members & Parameter Information

I think that should do the trick
