No intellisense on custom masterpage in module

Question

I don't have comfort of intellisense in my custom made Master Page.

What I've done is:
- Created a SharePoint project
- Added a Module to it
- Copied a masterpage from the file explorer/windows explorer into my module

The syntax highlighting is working fine but there's no intellisense, is there a way to get it?

Intellisense is also not working when I use a default masterpage given by SharePoint, so it has nothing to do with a syntax error.

Answer 1

I have the same problem. Can't figure out how to fix it. It is really annoying. I hope they fix it when the RTM comes out.

April 12 is the global launch.

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

12 April is less then a month, good news! Hope this issue is fixed then.

Answer 3

I created a copy of the master page and added an .aspx extension to it. I also set it to No Deployment. I was able to get the syntax and everything working on the file with aspx extension. When im happy with the changes I move the contents over to the original master page. Its a little more work but if your heavy into customizing the master page its a time saver.
