Are there any tools that augment/replace intellisense with a search of for expressions that will result in a given type? I'm thinking of the case where I need to get some particular object and I known the type and will recognize the name but don't know what sequence of objects to jump thought to get to it. Such a tool would do a breadth...
In the application we are developing we would like to offer the user intellisense-type of editing facitilites when entering measurements. After entering a valid numeric value the user should enter the corresponding unit. To enter a valid unit, a list of valid units pops up in a listbox, see enclosed screen-shot. To change the currently s...
I want to build my own "code behind" like pages so that i can have HTML in a HTML file and code in cs file but be able to have Intellesense for the tokens in the HTML file. (i know that's what the .NET page class does, but i want to have something much lighter) EG: in the .html file: <%@ Directive classname="HTMLSnippet" %> <html> <...
I'm trying to get Visual Studio 2008 SP1 to do intellisense for external javascript files, as described here by ScottGu, but it's not working. I have an ASP.NET MVC project with several javascript files in the Scripts directory. All of the scripts are included on a master page. Intellisense is enabled, but it only gives me the basic jav...
What do you consider the most important aspects of Intellisense (in any IDE)? Reduced effort remembering and typing class/method/property names being the most obvious, but what are some less obvious forms of assistance that help you with your job? ...
Adding a script to a view generally involves something like this: <script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> Unfortunately, this doesn't work if the app is deployed in a virtual directory under IIS 6. The alternatives discussed here involve using Url.Content with "~" to resolve the path dynamicall...
By default Visual Studio displays all members and its extension methods for a type in intellisense. Sometimes I would like to hide the extension methods to make it easier to find the member I am actually looking for (especially when using Linq). Is there a shortcut or another way to display only the members of a type in intellisense? ...
Hello I have recently tried code templates after reading http://www.symfony-framework.com/2008/06/03/speed-symfony-developing-with-eclipse-snippets-templates/ in my Eclipse IDE for PHP development. I have an idea, when such tools can benefit for developer. Developers are constantly learning new tools, programming languages, frameworks ...
I would expect this would be a common need. Can anyone help or point me to a page that explains how to do this? ...
Are there any C# attributes that I can apply to class members, to change the way they appear in the Intellisense listings? This popped into my head when I was building a class with many static constants, and I (briefly!) wanted it to look like an enumeration in Intellisense. Yes, that's silly. But it got me thinking - is there any way ...
Hi, I've been searching for intellisense in Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008 when editing "manifest.xml" file in a SharePoint solution (wsp) with no result. Does anybody know if there is something similar to CAML intellisense but for "manifest.xml" files??? Thanks. ...
I am trying to get javascript intellisense to work for jQuery in a .xml file. I've already used a custom XSD to provide intellisense for the XML. Under the tag, I have a mixture of HTML and javascript which are enclosed by . And it is all greyed out so no intellisense there. Adding a /// does not help as well. I would really like to ...

When i tried to get intellisense for jquery in vs2008 - I am getting following error- Warning 1 Error updating JScript IntelliSense: C:\Documents and Settin...
It would be nice if in XAML when I define ItemsControl/ItemsSource="{Binding AvailableContracts}" that Visual Studio would be smart enough to go find the property AvailableContracts on the ModelView which the DataContext is bound to, reflect it, and then when I type: <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path= it would pop up intellisense of the ...
Hi, I have several forms with this strange behaviour. For instance I have this form generated code. namespace Sogyo.InHolland.SeriousGameFactory.GameCreator { partial class FormAvatarResourceSetEditor { this.bindingSourceAvatarResourceSets.DataSource = typeof(SeriousGameFactory.Framework.ImageResource); } } In this case when i ...
When editing a C# source file, I type new { Visual Studio auto-corrects it to new object{ Is there a way to stop this behavior? ...
I have a class library that has a couple of namespaces containing only internal types. However, when using the class library in an application project, the namespaces shows up in intellisense, but of course they are empty. Is there any way for me to hide the namespaces completely when using intellisense in other projects? I've tried to...
Using Visual C++ 2008. First time, I'm experimenting in crossing over from C# and wanted to try my hand at it. I have not changed base settings much, other than a few things like smart block and maybe a few colors. Because I'm at level ZERO on c++ knowledge all the googling I've done is over my head. Issue with intellisense and error lis...
Last year I wrote a Language Service for Visual Studio which added syntax highlighting for NHaml files: http://github.com/snappycode/hamleditor. To clarify, NHaml is a html template language that can mix in code elements like an aspx file can. This plugin adds support to the IDE for editing NHaml files, but basically only adds syntax h...
When editing .NET config files (app.config, web.config, etc) in Visual Studio, I get Visual Studio's intellisense to guide me when choosing my application's settings. If I add a custom configuration section, how can I enable intellisense for my custom settings? I'm sure there must be an easy answer to this, but a cursory Google search di...
