VS2005 Errors when creating .aspx pages that retrun XML or JSON

I kept getting this on a page that did nothing but reference a code behind.

Validation(): Element ‘html’ occurs too few times.

This is because VS2005 is performing HTML validation by default. Yuk. You can turn this off by going to:

  • Tools –> Options –> Text Editor –> HTML –> Validation
  • Uncheck the “Show Errors” checkbox

Voila!

    It would be nice to be able to disable this on a per-page basis, or even a per-project basis. Validation does come in useful if you are writing HTML.
