How to enable intellisense and syntax highlighting for classic ASP in Visual Studio 2013

4.6k Views Asked by At

This is the situation. I'm currently working on very old project in Visual Studio 2013. The app was coded by previous developer using classic ASP and the language is visual basic. Now, I'm writing the code live at development server using FTP connection from my PC. However, the ASP syntax highlighting and intellisense is not working which make me very unproductive. I've tried several solution but none work for me so far. Is there any workaround?
