JScript IntelliSense: A Reference for the “Reference” Tag

Not directly related, but is there a way to filter the JavaScript intellisense to not show IE-only syntax? IOW, I have a <div id='myDiv' /> in my page, I do not want window.myDiv to appear. Does VS2008 support this? If not, consider this a feature request :)

Hi Brock Allen: unfortunately it's going to have to be a feature request. :) It's behaved like that longer than I can remember and we didn't make any changes to that code this version.

It would be nice if this actually worked for classes in the namespaces created with Type.registerNamespace, that Microsoft told us to use when working with Microsoft AJAX.

It would also be nice if the webcontrols on the webpage that embeds javascript files into the page also would be included in the Intellisense.

Without these two things, it's hard for an API developer to actually make any use of any of this and expose the JS methods to the developer.

SharpGIS, in a couple of days Misual Studio 2008 RTM will be shipped.

And Scott Guthrie promised us, that support most of JS Frameworks will be included.

So, im believe him :)

I can't get the intellisense to work for anything except the build in JavaScript objects. I've tried both with the scriptmanager, regulare script tags and using the reference tag within a js file.

Any ideas why?

I'm using the rtm Team Suite trial version.

Is it possible to use <reference> on a virtual directory? I have websites with several virtual directories in order to share JavaScript. The structure is mainly for ease of development.

I have tried pretty well every construct I can think of, and dragging the JavaScript file from the Solution Explorer inserts what looks like the correct path, but the Intellisense just does not pick up the content.

Thanks for the explanation.

A little off topic, Any I idea why intelliSense would not show documention comments? I get color coding and intellisense on method name and parameter names but the comments are not shown. Anything for me to look at? Thanks!

MicrosoftAjax.js IntelliSense in inline script blocks

Magnus Markling — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 02:07:52 GMT

Adding

/// <reference name="MicrosoftAjax.js"/>

gives me perfect IntelliSense in an external script file.

But how do I get the same experience in an inline script block?

/// <reference name="MicrosoftAjax.js"/>

doesn't do it. Neither does

<asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="ScriptManager1">

<asp:ScriptReference Name="MicrosoftAjax.js" Assembly="System.Web.Extensions" />

Thanks

Magnus

yeah i don't see intellisense for $get, $find, etc in inline script block inside aspx. It works fine in an external js using reference name=microsoftajax.js.

please advise.

Hi Wahy: Do you have an asp:ScriptManager on your page? That is required to see $get, $find, etc.

re: JScript IntelliSense: A Reference for the “Reference” Tag

WebDevTools — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 22:24:38 GMT

Hi Magnus Markling: an Explicit reference to "MicrosoftAjax.js" is not needed as the ScriptManager will add that for you by default. If it's still not working, please contact me at jking-at-microsoft-dot-com and we can examine your specific case. Thanks!

Hi DJames: While editing the the active document, any Doc Comments defined there will not show up. You will only be able to see Doc Commented defined in other (referenced) files. This is a VS2008 limitation. We will see what was can do in the next version. Thanks!

Hi SharpGIS: Namespaces created with Type.registerNamespace will be reflected in IntelliSense if it comes from an external file. Namespaces in the local file created with Type.registerNamespace will not appear because we do not evaluate that code. It's pretty difficult to infer such things, but we'll see what we can do in the next version. Dynamically registered scripts are not detectable by the IntelliSense engine since they only-resolve at runtime. This is one more thing that's difficult to infer, but (again) we'll see what we can do in the next version. Thanks!

Hi Hal Hovland: We restrict references to only those files inside the current project (or web site). We've since realized this was too restrictive and are working on relaxing this in the next update of VS. Thanks!
