On a friends version of visual studio, we saw to our surprise that a text file with the extention .frag or .vert has GLSL syntax highlighting. Is this a new feature? How can I get it in my version which is also 2010?
I use the NShader extension for that.

I'm very used to using Visual Studio Code, and admire the dark+ theme that comes with it standard. I want to use the Visual Studio IDE for projects, and would like to use the exact same or similar theme within the IDE. However, I can't find the syntax them for VS IDE 2019, and only find images of the application with the syntax theme inside. Could someone please show me where I can find or download the syntax theme?
Most programming language options in Visual Studio have built-in syntax coloring. However, I am required to use Assembly Language for my purpose. I have tried various Assembly Language syntax highlighting extensions, but some data types wouldn't be colored properly. How can I implement my own syntax highlighter/colorer? Would it require the development of a Visual Studio Extensions project?

you can use related visual studio extension from visual studio marketplace. like below:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Trass3r.AsmHighlighter
You could also create your Syntax Coloring in Custom Editors, For more information, please refer to:

Is there a disassembly highlighter for Visual Studio? I say this because look at the difference between these 2 disassemblers:
Visual Studio: http://i.stack.imgur.com/9QPCk.png
IDA Pro: http://i.stack.imgur.com/x1PfD.png
Now at the least I'd like a syntax highlighter for Visual Studio, because it's just so UGLY! Also, please don't say ASMHighlighter because that is only supported when writing assembly, not disassembling. Thanks, Stevie.
The VS extension AsmDude version 1.9.0.0 provides syntax highlighting (and more) for the disassembly window for visual studio 2015 and 2017
I'm looking for a syntax highlighter for Visual Studio Express. I love Visual Assist, however it only works with Visual Studio Professional Edition, not Express.
Visual Studio 2010 actually has fairly decent syntax highlighting but there are some things I really miss from Visual Assist that I'm hoping I can find for VS Express, specifically:
Highlighting local variables in bold, and italicizing stable variables and methods.
Highlighting variables/methods/objects throughout a file just by clicking on it, and highlighting reads in a different color than writes (VS colors reads/writes the same color).
Syntax highlighting within Intellisense and auto-complete option dialogs.
In addition to just syntax highlighting it would also be great to have the some of the shortcuts like Visual Assist offers, like easily finding files in your solution/project, or switching between .h/.cpp files in C++. I also really like how IntelliJ IDEA's IDE takes you to a definition if you hold CTRL and click on a symbol.
I'd prefer something free or cheap, but I'm willing to pay for something if it's worth it.
And just to provide some background, I must use VS2010 because I'm developing a game engine in XNA 4.0, and it only works with Visual Studio. Otherwise I would definitely be open to suggestions of just using an IDE with more options, like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse.
The answer to this is in the comment by Cody Gray:
The Express version doesn't support extensions
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.
There is a Ruby plugin for Visual Studio by Sapphire Steel Software, called Ruby in Steel.
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 :) )
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.
