How to config VS.NET to recognize other file extensions as aspx?

[Bob]

I noticed that some of the Microsoft site pages have the extension name of
mspx. It's easy to config IIS to map a particular extension name to the
ASP.NET dll for production purpose. However I can't figure out how to config
VS.NET to recognize my own file extension name e.g. *.bob, as ASPX pages.
Is it matter of creating a set of template? If so, would it compile
correctly? My goal is for VS.NET to treat a different extension name the
same as aspx, so I can develop web pages with that extension name the same
way I do aspx.

Thanks
Bob

Go into IIS | Home Directory | Config and from there set the extension that
you would like.

I know how to set it up in IIS so IIS knows how to treat a particular
extension. My question was how to do it in VS.NET, the IDE. For example,
VS.NET displays .aspx different from .xml, how does it determine and more
importantly how do I customize?

Hi Bob,

I suppose you also want to know how to use a hammer to screw in a screw?
ISAPI mappings are done through IIS. That is the tool to use for mapping
ISAPIs. VS.Net is the tool to use for developing software. You could,
ostensibly, write an extension for the IDE that enables you to set
configuration settings in IIS, but it sure would be a lot of trouble,
compared to opening the IIS Admin snap-in and doing it that way.

There is a PowerToy for VS.Net at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/ called
VSTweak that can be used to define your own extensions and make the IDE
handle them like other known file types.

Thanks a lot Kyle and Per. I'll check out the the leads you guys provided.

For Kevi and michael, you guys obviously don't know what I'm talking about.
Thanks anyway.
