Gold Coast : JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control

  • Article

Marc Schweigert, one of my DE counterparts from the Public Sector team, has started a project to bring JavaScript Intellisense to the Virtual Earth map control. Awesome! I've used VE for things like the event mapping in Community Megaphone, and while it's pretty easy to use, adding Intellisense will definitely lower the bar on the JavaScript side of things. Good news.

Have you ever wished you could get JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control in Visual Studio 2008?  I have, so I came up with a solution and started a codeplex project!  I just recorded a short 10 minute channel 9 screencast explaining the solution.  The screencast is here.  I have also embedded the video in this post for those of you who prefer that.  Once the video has started, you can double click it to go fullscreen.
