CSS file not opening in Visual Studio 2010 SP1?
Visual StudioVisual Studio-2010Visual Studio Problem Overview
I am unable to open CSS files in Visual Studio 2010 after adding to a project.
It shows the following error:

Even if I try to edit embedded CSS in a webpage directly, IntelliSense doesn't appear.
Visual Studio Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio
I found the solution from here:
> I was having the same issue and found that by going to the Tools -> Extension Manager -> Online Gallery and search for/install the "Web Standards Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 sp1" I was able to open CSS files again.
And it worked for me.
Solution 2 - Visual Studio
Probably it can happen after installing the Visual Studio LightSwitch beta
OR
Windows Azure tools installed
OR
SQL Server 2012 installed
Download this and install it if already installed then repair it and it'll fix the issue:

Solution 3 - Visual Studio
There is dropdown box in the toolbar saying "XHTML 1.0 transition". Change it to HTML.
Solution 4 - Visual Studio
This happened to me after installing Adobe Cloud production suite. Web Standards Update did the trick.
