WCF July CTP Missing Config Intellisense
Recently, I received a question about the WCF configuration intellisense in our July CTP release from Nilesh Pagare. After installing the July WCF CTP Nilesh no longer had our configuration intellisense when modifying either app.config or web.config files in Visual Studio. The dotnetconfig.xsd file did not include the System.ServiceModel configuration schema.
After tracking down the correct contact regarding the installation of WCF configuration intellisense, it appears that you have run into an unfortunate known issue. Here are the details that have been provided to me, which include a work around:
VS extension should be installed for Intellisense to work correctly.
However, we did not ship such an extension package with July CTP. This is the major problem.
To workaround, one can install the VS extension for Jun CTP on the July CTP with the following command line (direct install will fail):
msiexec /i vsextwfx.msi WRC_INSTALLED_OVERRIDE=1
The VS extension package for June CTP can be found at:
