RSRP-256900 Import Type Completion fails for Web.config files

Issue is visible to: All Users

Create a new ASP.NET MVC 3 project and edit the web.config file. Add the following:

<appSettings>
<add key="Foo" value="Home<CTRL-ALT-Space>

ReSharper displays "Start typing prefix to show type name completion".

Rename the file to App.config and repeat. ReSharper offers HomeController as a completion. Pressing enter results in:

<appSettings>
<add key="Foo" value="MvcApplication1.Controllers.HomeController"/>

Renaming the file back to Web.config causes import type completion to fail again.

Just tried something else. If you copy the Web.config file into a Class Library or Console project, Import Type Completion works even when the file is named "Web.config". The bug only happens if the Web.config file is in an ASP.NET project type in VS2010. I haven't checked whether the issue exists in VS2008.
