Visual Studio Silverlight/xaml bug

This one was driving me crazy for at least a few hours.  On a fresh install of VS2008 & Silverlight 3 tools, there was no xaml code highlighting at all, no intellisense, nothing - just like any ordinary text file.  Checking the same project on another machine, it was all fine.  So I starting disabling/uninstalling all VS plugins (ReSharper, AnkhSVN), but still no luck.  Was starting to think I'd have to reinstall VS...

The solution was simple enough - run the VS Command Prompt, and enter:

devenv /resetskippkgs

Problem solved.  Apparently a good one to try whenever you lose formatting or Intellisense features.
