- FIX: VS 2005 Intellisense in web.config files
-
Posted by oVan on Tuesday, December 20, 2005 | PermaLink | 0 commentsAlthough VS 2005 now supports IntelliSense for web.config files in your web project, this functionality seems to be broken sometimes.
Here's a fix, provided by Scott Guthrie:
There is one gotcha to be aware of, though, that can sometimes cause intellisense for the web.config file to stop working in the IDE. This happens when a default namespace is added to the root element. For example, like so:
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
This doesn’t cause any runtime problems – but it does stop intellisense completion happening for the built-in .NET XML elements in the web.config file.
The bad news is that the built-in web admin tool (launched via the WebSite->ASP.NET Configuration menu item in VS 2005 and Visual Web Developer) always adds this xmlns namespace when it launches – so if you use this tool to manage users/roles you’ll end up having it added to your web.config file for you.
How to fix this gotcha:
To get intellisense back when you are editing the web.config file in the IDE, just delete the xmlns reference and have the root configuration element look like so:
<configuration>
Everything will then work fine again.
Thanks, Scott!

Here it is... Attensa for Outlook 1.0 Beta. It's feature complete and rarin' to go.
Search More...Work Less
Need to find something? Now you can add search feeds from these engines: Blog Digger, Daypop, Del.icio.us, Feedster, flickr, Moreover, MSN search, Technorati, Wired News, Yahoo! News, Plazoo, SeekItAll, Google News, Google Blogs, Wikipedia, Feed24, IceRocket, Digg, and Yahoo! (whew!). With such a variety of search engines you're sure to find what you're looking for and have it delivered right into clearly labeled folders in Outlook.
There's so many engines, we had to make two screenshots just to show them all:
Bug Fixes
There's significant improvement in Outlook performance when working with a large number of subscriptions and when switching folders located on Exchange and other remote servers.
We've fixed memory leaks in AttensaEngine.exe. Memory use holds steady without spiking.
Implementation of auto-delete preferences in the configuration menu pane is now cleaner and easier to use.
The problem which prevented the Publishing feature from working properly, for some users, has been fixed.
Finally, we've fixed a potential crash for users upgrading from You Subscribe: RSS.
Also!
In addition, we've added one more great feature. The version number has been changed from 0.992 to 1.0! We give a hearty applause to our engineers for working this one out.
Hammer on it
