How to make VisualStudio intellisense work in html properties of strongly typed view?

Question

I think the title says it all, but to be clear:

If I put something like:

<%=Model.Project.Id %>

in the body of a strongly typed view, I get full intellisense for my model.

However, if I put:

<a href="/Projects/Edit/<%=Model.Project.Id %>">

With the script being written within an html property (in this case the href="" property), the intellisense doesn't work.

I imagine this is a limitation of VisualStudio, but it seems this is a very common task and should be able to work. Is there a fix for this? Does my version of VisualStudio have a problem?

Answer 1

Hi,

Intellisense is probably not active in text blocks (between double quotes), which is completely normal.

However i never used Visual Studio to develop asp.net application so i can't tell you how fix it but i have a idea.

Reshaper is a powerful tools for .net applications. It supports asp.net and might do what you need. You should try it !

Can you force IntelliSense to show up? I think the standard shortcut ist CTRL + Space ?
