Looks really nice. Thanks a lot.

Just a few questions. Does the lookup for prototype definitions works across multiple files e.g. definition in one file, usage in another one? Does the prototype inheritance also works when using a wrapper around this (like most JS frameworks do) e.g. <a href="http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/apiviewer/#qx.Class~define">qx.Class.define</a> in qooxdoo does.

BTW: Does these features require to buy the full Visual Studio or will there be an Express Edition like for other stuff already released which also contains these nice things?

Thanks for leaving your comment.

Yes, the entire authoring support is available in Express Edition too. The Express edition for Visual Web Developer 2008 can be downloaded from the link given below:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/future/bb421473.aspx

And yes we do support intellisense on functions/prototypes defined across file. Please look at:

The bulleted point 4 and 5 in the blog above will give you a nice idea what user has to do to achieve this.

If you have any further feedback/suggestion, please get back to us. Your suggestions will help us in improving the product further.

@Don: Can you tell me if the prototype-stuff also works when using wrapper around the native prototype. This question was already part of my previous comment but it seems you have overseen it.

Is there any way to turn off intellisense per file.

For example prototype.js causes intellisense errors when used in a VS project, I'd like to be able to use hintes eg

///no_scan

so that intellisense does not try and model the file.

Hi Paul,

There is no way to turn off intellisense if the file is referenced. The only way to turn off intellisense selectively is not to refernce the file. (Remove the <script src="..." > tag or the /// <reference ...> tag)

Having said that, I feel this is a very good feedback and we will take a look at this. We do appreciate this.

hmm, in the rtm build of vs2008 i can only get js intellisense working in .js files but not in .htm,.html or .aspx files. There is no error or anything? Is there any way I can figure out why this isn't working?

oh, and if I press ctrl-shift-j to update intellisense I get "Could not complete the action"

I've tried it with creating a new asp.net website, with everything default and i got the same results.. :(

I have the exactly same issue like Robert has. I use final VS Pro 2008. Weird.

Nice post! Came here via a search in Google on 'Could not complete the action'. I have the same issues like Robert en Gleb have. Something strange , in the beginning - right after the installation of VS 2008 RTM - it was working...

Okay this is a pretty old thread - I know. But I can´t find a solution to the problem I have. Intellisense is working for *.aspx pages but not for *.html pages in my project. Anyone?
