IntelliSense support for JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX rocks in Visual Studio "Orcas"
Yesterday I listed ASP.NET AJAX as one of the technologies discussed. During my talk I mentioned that IntelliSense support for JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX programming would be available in Visual Studio "Orcas". Meanwhile I downloaded the March CTP of "Orcas" and it rocks! This CTP is the first build having this support.
Jeff King of the webdevtools team has an excellent blog post on "JScript IntelliSense in Visual Studio "Orcas"". He briefly covers:
- Proactive Completion List
- Keywords in Completion List
- ASP.NET AJAX Concepts in Completion List
- IntelliSense from Script Libraries for ASPX Pages
- IntelliSense from Script Libraries for JS Files
- Enhanced Function and Parameter Tips
- Type Inferencing
I haven't had the time to look at all these features but the weekend is not over yet! Get the March CTP "Orcas" bits and have a look yourself! And for those of you looking for more AJAX goodness: a new release of the AJAX Control Toolkit is available for download.
