Save business cards of people you don't like then if you accidentally hit a parked car just write sorry on the back of the card and leave it on the windshield.

Need to bear in mind that someone may have your business card too.

Still got a nice stack of those, from different companies. Why do we get business cards again?

Decades ago I worked for a company that insisted everybody have cards, including us devs who never interacted with anyone outside the company. Or at least not in a capacity in which we'd be representing the company.
Out of the box of 500 I got, I think I still have 498 of them.

Someone at my last job was the other side of that farce.
We hired him when he left the Navy at some lowly technicians job title because he was enlisted and only had an associates degree (working on a BS but not done yet); despite the fact that as an SME he was doing technical work well above that level. But he was one of our two on-base personnel for the project and as such was present at industry days and other events where he was meeting with lots of potential customers/suppliers so he was also doing mid-level engineer/entry level management work in that case as well; which meant that he really did need to have business cards of his own. However someone senior in HR was being stubbornly inflexible about people at that junior level never being supposed to have business cards.
His line manager/our program manager went through 3 or 4 cycles of filling out the justification outside of normal process paperwork only to have a warm body at the next level send it back with an automatic denial being reported at the weekly team meetings. The final round of the farce had him saying he was going to be meeting with the head of HR to ask if she would accept that a policy override was needed and approve the business card request, or if he needed to ram an out of cycle promotion through the system instead wasting a ton more of everyone's time and costing far more than the few boxes of cards/year would run. We never heard anything more of it, so I assume the head was either capable of seeing reason or lazy enough to not want to deal with the other half of his threat.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they parked their car in the spot where I had my accident.

I had a friend who used to chat up girls in clubs and give them one of 'those' business cards as his own.
This was especially important if he got lucky.

"Fair Use" says that you can use just about anything as long as you don't make money off of it (that would otherwise go to the "creator").

I'm not sure if this is just because I don't have them as part of an asp.net project - I'm actually not using ASP.NET at all, just something with the same syntax.
Anyway, even when I name the template files .aspx only the "client side" code gets syntax highlighted, which isn't helpful to me really.
I want the "server side" code (which is C#) to be highlighted and intellisensed. That would be golden. Trouble is, no matter what ASP.NET @ directives I put at the top of my page I cannot get visual studio to highlight my "server side" code (again C#)
I haven't actually written an ASP.NET site in years. I do have the VS components for it installed, but I seem to remember it highlighting server side code in those projects.
Anyone have any ideas? I can't really "stage" this as an ASP.NET project because of the way the templates are used, and I need access to stdin, stdout and stderr plus command line arguments.

This is a programming question best posted in the ASP.NET forum:
ASP.NET Discussion Boards[^]
It's rumoured ASP.NET experts dwell there to avoid things like explosive decompression and other things of this nature.

This is a visual studio question. It has nothing to with ASP.NET. It would be like me going to the C++ forums to ask why VS Code wasn't working. I'm not even using the ASP.NET engine.

Rephrase your question without either words. It is part of the subject.

It's why it was in quotes. It's visual studios highlighting of ASP.NET pages. Not the ASP.NET engine which isn't run. I explained that in the question. I did not explain that in the title because that's not what titles are for.

You clearly do, because if anything you still haven't figured out the difference between Visual Studio, and ASP.NET, despite them being very different products. Problems with one are not the same with problems with the other, in case you weren't aware, because that's not how any of this works. And speaking of problems, your inability to distinguish between two major Microsoft offerings is your problem. You've decided to make it mine. Don't.
I don't care about tone. I care about facts.

Must have been quite a post that you're referring to.
