Since Visual Studio 2010 is slated for release in March of 2010 and HTML 5 is now starting to be used even more widely, I would like to know if Visual Studio will ship with HTML 5 templates, standard controls and support for the more common markup?
A definition for support of HTML 5 would be that any new version of Visual Studio should have similar support for code-completion, validation and markup that is currently supported for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1.
Update From the Visual Web Develolper Team Blog:
HTML 5 intellisense and validation schema for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer is for downloading. Follow the instructions posted on the page to install the new scheme. Seems like the Visual Studio Team will be supporting HTML 5 after all.
February 2011 Update from the Visual Web Developer Team Blog
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 finally adds some support for HTML5. "The entire HTML5 specification isn’t supported but most of the new elements and attributes are. That means you get both intellisense and validation for HTML5 with SP1." Read More Here
May 2011 Update from Scott Guthrie's blog
Just this month, Microsoft has pushed out some HTML5 improvements with the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. While the post seems to be very pro MVC, it's nice to see that Visual Studio 2010 now has default templates and intelisense support for HTML5; along with a nice addition of a jQuery script that will give some backwards support for older browsers.
The download from the Web Developer Team blog is for Visual Studio 2008. In order to add schema validation support to Visual Studio 2010 you'll want to make some subtle changes:
Add the schema to your 2010 (10.0) folder rather than to your 9.0 folder (duh):
So e.g. change the path in the readme from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html
Second, EDIT the registry file that is appropriate for your Windows bit version, again replacing the 9.0 with 10.0 - for instance for my 64 bit windows the file reads as follows:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Packages\{1B437D20-F8FE-11D2-A6AE-00104BCC7269}\Schemas\Schema 23]
"File"="html\\html_5.xsd"
"Friendly Name"="HTML 5"
"URI"="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/html-5"
I think real question is - will Microsoft support HTML5? Multiple places on the internet I found that Microsoft is seriously considering to support HTML5. If that is true, it makes sense to expect VS 2010 to support HTML5.
Just released today: Web Standards Update for Visual Studio SP1.
You can use this tool from Microsoft Gallery:
HTML 5 Intellisense and validation schema for Visual Studio 2010 and 2008

If anyone is having trouble getting the HTML 5 schema tool to work in Visual Studio 2010, take a look at this blog post I found which is a great help:
raihaniqbal.net - HTML5 Support In Visual Studio 2010
How can you support something that doesn't exist? Something you can't validate against because there's no accepted spec?
Yes they could build in support for the experimental DTD, but they did that with XML/XSLT/XPath and ended up fragmenting XML support for far too long and were attacked for it from all sides.
Giving that people like Google are now pushing for tags they want just to make supporting Wave easier it's going to be a long time before HTML5 is done, and the "standard" is going to fluctuate and change - so why waste time and resources trying to hit a moving target?
A simple answer is yes. Visual studio has been working on this from long time.

Oh my god! Are you kidding me??? C++ was used by 1.5 million programmer worldwide before it was standardized. link text In the mid-to-late 90's, 50%+ of all software development was done in C++ before it was standardized in 1998. Even when there was an ANSI C standard, very few compilers actually used that standard without countless ambiguous differences. And don't even get me start on how badly all the browsers have followed the HTML standards! In fact, still today no two browsers work exacly 100% the same because they still can't follow the HTML or CSS standards that exist now.

I am a C# windows developer. I recently started to work with WinJS. Working with WinJS, I have noticed some challenges and limitations. Can face some new challenges as the community support for WinJS is very less. Below are the few points mentioned regarding this concern
a. WinJS does not support Visual Studio features like Finding References of Classes and Variables which is very useful to code productively.
b. WinJS is not strongly typed as C#. So we will get to know about the errors at runtime only instead of compile time which is difficult to Debug and time taking process.
c. WinJS does not support feature “What you see is what you get”. Visual Studio designer is not available for WinJS. We can see the application design only after we run the application which is again time taking thing.
There are very less chances of availability of “Ready to Work on WinJS” resources. Because most of the developers in Windows community work on C#, XAML languages.
d. Direct compatibility of third party libraries for WinJS might not be available.
Have anybody experience in WinJS and faced similar issues? Or Are there any solutions exists for this? What is the scope of improvement in Windows 10 version for WinJS??
For an HTML/CSS/JS designer, that's what Blend for Visual Studio is for. Load the project into Blend and you'll get a designer that also works when you're running the app. Documentation for this is on https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj129478.aspx, and there's a great video from //build 2013 that shows the flow, http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2013/2-311. I also cover using Blend to some extent in my free ebook, Programming Windows Store Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, 2nd Edition.

I got my hands on Windows 8 machine and, willing to check out new Windows Runtime API, downloaded VS 2013 Express for Windows. WinRT offers possibility to code in HTML5/CSS/JS, but I'm interested in using TypeScript as an alternative to JavaScript when not coding for DOM. This possibility is outlined here, but only applicable to Visual Studio 2012 and not even to Express edition, as Web Essentials extension won't work there.
TypeScript web page claims that full support is built into VS 2013 Update 2 RC. However, while this update does install some new extensions and TypeScript gets installed in Program Files as well, it doesn't add TypeScript support to VS 2013 Express for Windows. I still don't get to create .ts file, let alone have it compiled from IDE.
Please note this is a different question from this one, which deals with VS 2013 for Web. I've checked the accepted answer there and it won't work. I'm interested in getting TypeScript to work with either VS 2012 Express for Windows 8 or VS 2013 Express for Windows. I'll also accept an answer pointing me to alternative IDEs for WinRT/Store Apps development, but web research tells me it's unlikely to happen.
Yes, it's perfectly possible to write a Windows Store app using TypeScript in the Express for Windows version of Visual Studio 2013. But unfortunately it isn't supported right out of the box. You'll have to modify the project file yourself.
This sounds harder than it is... I wrote a tutorial on how to this some time ago. It basically comes down to adding some xml to the project file, telling Visual Studio what to do with the .ts files.
After modifying the project the .ts files are compiled and even placing breakpoints inside the .ts files works.
Can anyone give the steps for integrating the html5 language in visual studio 2008?
Thank you..
The web standards update for Visual Studio 2010 is what gives you the syntax highlighting for both HTML5 and CSS3. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it is available for vs2008, sorry. There may be a user supported extension out there, but not one from Microsoft.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdevtools/archive/2011/06/15/web-standards-update-for-visual-studio-2010-sp1.aspx
I'm using the C# package of Visual Studio 2010 Express. I want to add an HTML file to my project, but the C# package doesn't seem to have HTML support (e.g. syntax highlighting) included.
I tried installing the Web Developer package hoping it would simply add features to my existing installation. Turned out that they are acting like different programs though. Still no HTML features.
Is there any way to do this?
If all you need to do is edit some HTML and want highlighting, may I suggest a free advanced text editor such as Notepad++ ?
What happened to Visual web in Netbeans 6.8. Has the feature been removed?
Thanks
Yes, it was removed in 6.8. Lots of people that use it are staying at 6.7.1. The reason VW wasn't included is because that project is no longer being developed, and therefore won't be part of future NetBeans editions.
It is an harakiri for Netbeans!!!
The reason i used netbeans instead of eclipse is the Visual web in Netbeans!!!
You should create another tool (a new Java Studio Creator) for those (we are a lot) that want to continue using this plugin!!!
The Visual Web Pack is an important feature and the main reason why we are using the netbeans ide instead of eclipse in our company for java web development. And now, you won't include this nice and very helpful tool in the future netbeans releases since 6.8? I think, netbeans will going down in the future, because now there is no reason to use this ide instead of eclipse. Good by Netbeans - we have a good time :(
