Intellisense not working in web.config file with VS (Web Developer) 2005*

Just a couple minutes ago, I was watching a Microsoft webcast and I noticed that the person doing the cast had their intellisense working in the web.config file! Now, mine doesn't work so this had me a bit lost! So after playing around for a couple secs, I did a search and found that this is a common problem. The good thing though is that it has a 'fix'!

If you're using VS 2005 and the intellisense isn't working in your web.config, here's a link to Scott Guthrie's blog post that gives the reason for it not working and also the fix.

In a nutshell though, all you have to do is go into the web.config file and in the "configuration" tag, remove the 'xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"' property text. Now.. do a quick save, and you'll notice your intellisense is working once again! Cheers Scott!

Enjoy!
