最近HTML5浪潮已经开始了，VS2010已经有一个扩展支持在HTML5智能提示。你可以从这里下载这个扩展：

安装好后，打开VS2010, 通过菜单栏 Tools->Options->Text Editor->HTML->Validation，你可以看到如下图：

选择HTML 5，验证就可以了。然后你们VS2008/2010 编辑器支持HTML5智能提示。 最后效果如下：

I was trying to play around with HTML5 assuming that VS 2010 had shipped with HTML5 support but to my dismay it was not the case. Bummer! So I did a bit of homework and came up with an easy workaround. If you try googling for html5 visual studio 2010, the first link that you will see is HTML 5 Intellisense for Visual Studio 2010 and 2008. But unfortunately, the patch provided over there doesn’t seem to work. (DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING!!)

So here’s how I got it to work.

1. Download this archive and extract the contents to your desktop.
2. Copy/Move html_5.xsd to D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html. The path may vary depending on where you installed VS 2010 or Visual Web Developer 2010.
3. From the extracted contents, run the appropriate registry file. In my case, it was VS-2010-x64.reg
4. Now fire up Visual Studio 2010 (or VWD) and navigate to Tools > Options > Text Editor HTML > Validation. On the right panel, select HTML 5 as the Target.
5. Now restart VS 2010 and you should be able to code valid HTML5. Enjoy!
