JSON Javascript highlighting in Visual Studio 2010

Viewed 5761

Does anybody know how to get VS 2010 to use the same highlighting for a file called .JSON as it uses for a JavaScript file? Just working on a client site and they've named all their JSON template files as .JSON, with the result that I just get a plain old text editor when I open it in Visual Studio. Any suggestions? I'm sure there must be an option somewhere that would do it but I can't find it so far...

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension

End your extension 'json' and select 'Script Editor' and click 'add'.

Re-open any json documents for it to take affect.
