Follow these steps.

• Copy usertype.dat from Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA CUDA SDK\doc\syntax_highlighting\visual_studio_8 to Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE.
• Start Visual Studio and go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension
• In the extension box type "cu" and select "Microsoft Visual C++" in the drop down.
• Restart.

Install Parallel Nsight, It will do it automatically.
