You can enable syntax highlighting for .txx files by applying the 
following registry patch:

---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\Languages\File 
Extensions\.txx]
@="{B2F072B0-ABC1-11D0-9D62-00C04FD9DFD9}"
---

Put the code in between the --- marks into a file named something like 
itkhack.reg and double click on the file to apply the patch. By 
changing the extension at the end of the HKEY line, you can make .NET 
recognize any file type as C++ source.
