I've created a new language extension for vs 2012 based on the vs 2012 samples for colorization, intellisense etc etc, however i'm experiencing some 'weirdnesses'.
I can build, register and associate the file extensions fine and I can run it in the exp or normal hives, it all seems to run perfectly fine. The extension hits my breakpoints etc etc, *BUT* even though I step thru the code to colorize and there are no errors and I can see that i'm setting everything properly, there is *NO* colorization in the text editor *UNLESS* I delete the 11.0_Config and font color cache registry keys.. additionally, the languages that I am registering do *NOT* show up in the FontsAndColors unless I delete the sub cache key, and even then, nothing, unless I delete both..
why would this be and how can I "refresh" vs without having to do this? Obviously i'm doing something wrong?
My extension works perfectly fine when I delete those keys..
(Please excuse me if this question has already been asked, I searched and found similar questions, but nothing that pertains to what i'm seeing specifically..)
please advise. It's driving me crazy ;)
