title: Syntax highlighting and intellisense not working .net core vs 2015
body: <p>I am trying to work on a .net core project and syntax highlighting is not functioning properly for razor views. Is there a dev dependency or configuration property that I am missing. Intellisense is also not working properly for asp-* tags. Any suggestions? I've already tried deleting the ComponentModelCache in appdata.</p>

  <p>Here is my project.json so you can see what packages I'm using. It seems to be project setup related, most likely a package. I am importing the tag helpers in my _ViewImports.cshtml file. I'm just not sure what's different in this project compared to default .NET Core projects. This project was started with an empty web core project.</p>
