Visual studio highlights asp.net tags as hyperlinks

Answer 1

A:

Must say it is strange. Although I am clueless, I will still try.

Are those real hyperlinks or just underlined text? If underlined text, then you can change the settings (since you have mentioned about resetting the setting, this won't work). If they are real hyperlinks, I am stumped.

as soon as i drop an asp.net control to the page VS underlines it and treats it like a hyperlink. when you mouse over in code view it tells you use ctrl+click to follwo the hyperlink. I clicked one and in the url of exploerer i got "asp:////ListView%20ID="TopVideosList"%20runat="server"%20EnableViewState="false"I must add, tags works fine and does their jobs.

Answer 2

A:

Does it happen for tags without an asp: prefix.

e.g. Can you create a UserControl, and drag that in and give it a different tag prefix

<cc1:MyCustomControl />

If not, then it sounds like something has gotten set on your system that treats asp as a protocol :(

But to be honest, I'm at a complete loss as to why this might happen.

<cc1:MyCustomControl /> works fine

I was taking a shot in the dark, but that sounds like a really bloody nasty behaviour :(
