asp.netnotepadvisual studio
When I open .aspx or .ascx files in notepad++, notepad++ open them as Normal Text files and so no syntax highlighting works. In the Language dropdown menu I dont see ASPX or ASCX options.
How to setup notepad++ so that it uses syntax highlighting when I open .aspx or .ascx files? I want to use the Visual Studio syntax highlighting in notepad++ for the .aspx and .ascx files. I am using Visual Studio 2015.
Thanks
SynWrite editor has fully customizable lexers (also for Verilog - verilog lexer isn't included by default, needs to be unpacked from MoreLexers.rar and be installed). SynWrite allows to hilite both begin / end words, when caret is over this begin-end block. (This can be configured for a lexer).
User defined languages are automatically added to the "Language" menu.
They appear after the horizontal separator in the menu.
You have to restart Notepad++ after installing the new language.
"Apache" and "Progress" are User Defined languages.
If you open files with the correct extension, eg .i they will have the lang auto selected to "Progress" and will be styled as appropriate.
User defined languages do not appear in the "Language Menu" list box.
Only built-in languages appear there.
Menu "Settings" > "Preferences" > "Language Menu" tab:
User defined languages do not appear in the "Style Configurator" dialog.
Only built-in languages appear there.
Menu "Setting" > "Style Configurator":
There are some Notepad++ patches for installing User Defined languages.
These patches are more than just XML language definitions.
An example is Progress 4gl / ABL "adds support for Progress 4gl / ABL: Syntax highlighting, block folding and auto completion"

You can have the syntax highlight for you by adding
user extensionson the ASP language inside the Style Configurator:Settings > Style Configurator > Click "asp" > Where it has "User ext. :" on the bottom put "aspx ascx" without quotes then click Save & Close.
Select your language as ASP afterwards and this should work fine.
