When I open a Ruby file (*.rb) inside Visual Studio, it reads like a regular text file - with no syntax highlighting on language keywords.
Is there any way to set this up in Visual Studio?
Update: No, I don't use Visual Studio for Ruby development - I use Netbeans. But I would like to open a Ruby file in Visual Studio and see the proper highlighting.
I'm not entirely sure you can do it for free without the Ruby in Steel add-in.
If you're not completely happy with Visual Studio, perhaps you can use a text editor with syntax highlighting plugins freely available. I know Notepad++ has this feature.
There might be a plugin in Visual Studio, that may do that.
Use Netbeans, Textmate, jEdit, Eclipse for Ruby development, they are great IDEs.
( I am wondering why are you doing ruby development in Visual Studio, well you may have your reasons :) )
There is a Ruby plugin for Visual Studio by Sapphire Steel Software, called Ruby in Steel.
