I'm quite new to ASP.NET and Visual Studio. I'm working on an old project, is it possible for me to turn on HTML 5 semantic markup? I've not been able to find the option, I would have expected the option here! :html validation

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate The following is a screenshot of the new project dialog. imgur.com/eaRqt

  • @Thomas Thanks, that might solve it! But why give the option for HTML5 validation without being capable of it!? http://imgur.com/eaRqt – Jack Jan 21 '12 at 14:59

Link to a similar topic containing a variety of answers: Is it possible to add HTML5 validation to Visual Studio?

Download link for the VS 2010 update which gives HTML5 validation: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a15c3ce9-f58f-42b7-8668-53f6cdc2cd83

Answer to my question: Install the update, and when developing HTML: Right click > Formatting and Validation > Validation > Target: HTML5.

Alternatively you can select HTML5 from the drop down above the text area, next to the 'Check page for accessibility button'.
