Using JavaScript intellisense in Visual Studio 2008
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
I have recently been playing with using Visual Studio 2008 as an intellisense editor while working with Ext JS for RSSBus.
I couldn't find out why the javascript intellisense wasn't working (for the entire Ext library, except for those locally in the current whatever.js file). It turns out you need to add a Visual Studio Reference to the top of your file like so:
/// <reference path="../some/path/to/adapter/ext/ext-base.js">
Do that for each Ext JS (or any javascript file) that is external and you want included, and voila! I must say MS, you guys finally did it right with JavaScript after so many years of putting off intellisense. I am very impressed!

Just do a Google search for jQuery intellisense in Visual Studio and you will come up with a bunch of results. Microsoft has an official intellisense file for jQuery which adds full support.
