Enabling IntelliSense in a Skin file for Visual Studio 2005

We've been going over the new Theme and Skin functionality in ASP.NET 2.0 when I noticed that the IntelliSense was not activiating to help create the skin file. One of my coworkers found the following steps to enable IntelliSense:

  1. Go to Tools->Options menu.
  2. Pick Text Editor -> File Extesion.
  3. Type skin in Extesion text box.
  4. Select User Control Editor from Editor dropdown.
  5. Click Add and then Ok to close dialog and re-open your skin files.

If you don't see "Text Editor" listed, click on the "Show all settings" check box in the lower-left corner of the dialog.
