Visual Studio 2015 Not Syntax Highlighting Razor Nor Intellisense

Visual Studio 2015 not syntax highlighting razor nor Intellisense

I've found in this answer another way to fix it without the devenv.exe /ResetUserData

Just delete the contents of this directory with Visual Studio closed:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<visual_studio_version_number>\ComponentModelCache

To find the version number of the Visual Studio edition your are running please refer this list. Note that only the major number is important, the minor version can and will probably differ. In my case I had Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise installed so I looked for 15.xx and found 15.0_9a1c4a06 inside the AppData folder.

So i tried an alternative solution install asp.net core https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windows because i know it comes with web development tool so i just tried installing and it fixed my issue.
