• Introducing JScript Formatting in VS 2008 SP1

  Colorization, validation, IntelliSense, and formatting comprise the core of any modern editor. With VS 2008 SP1, we are completing the core JScript editor by introducing code formatting. Additionally, we have promoted JScript to a dedicated node in “Tools Options” providing a clean separation from the HTML “Tools Options”. We realize many folks have been waiting for this feature and we’re excited to be able to finally provide it. We’re using “beta” period to fine tune the feature for final release. Thus, we would love to hear any feedback you have. There are two areas in particular I’d like to highlight: Correctness – It goes without saying that code integrity is of highest priority. We’ve done extensive testing to make sure nothing beyond the... Posted May 12 2008, 03:59 AM by Your Websites, Our Passion!

• JScript Debugging: Made easy with IE8

  The feature I'm most excited about in Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is ironically one you might not notice at all. Problem If you're reading this, you probably know (and are still untangling the double-negative logic of) the "Disable script debugging" option in IE. Say you just spent 10 hours debugging script. It's time for a break. You read your favorite blog. Suddenly, you are presented with: Needless to say, you probably did not "wish to debug" the rest of the world's script... especially after a day of debugging your own. But you hesitate to uncheck the option because you know you're going to need it again tomorrow. Solution IE8 now enables debugging on-demand. Thanks to a feature we tucked into VS2008...

• JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

  We have good news for jQuery fans. The hotfix we released today fixes a bug in IntelliSense where it would fail with jQuery. Any page with jQuery should just work now. While experimenting with this new-found functionality today, I found annotating the library with a few XML Doc Comments really made a big difference. The key is to add a return type of "jQuery" like this: Here's some jQuery chaining with IntelliSense: There were only a few functions that (due to the way they were declared) were not able to be annotated. Special thanks to Brennan where I borrowed the comments from. If anyone will be making a fully annotated version of jQuery, I'd be happy to post a link to it from here.

• JScript IntelliSense: Handling Errors

  I often get the question “Why isn’t IntelliSense working?”. The most common cause is an error in one of the referenced scripts. If there was an IntelliSense update error, the status bar will tell you. Given this situation, the Error List will complement the status bar with one of two messages. Error Message 1: A script failed to execute… This type of error is commonly caused by either a syntax error, calling a member that doesn’t exist, or an infinite loop. The filename/source is provided to help you debug. After the script error is fixed, IntelliSense will automatically retry. Note: I’ve noticed the line number to be off by 1; we’ll be fixing that. Error Message 2: Something more serious… In rare occurrences, our execution/analysis engine Read... Posted Jan 31 2008, 12:40 PM by Your Websites, Our Passion!

• Workaround for Beta 2 JavaScript IntelliSense and Colorization Issue

  We have discovered that in a very limited number of setup scenarios of Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, Jscript IntelliSense and Colorization may not work property after installing the product. You will get no IntelliSense in JavaScript code, and all JavaScript code will appear black (i.e., colorization of keywords will be missing). The image below shows how the code would appear if this issue occurs: The same issue will affect JavaScript code in your HTML and ASPX pages. The issue is caused by the Jscript engine not being registered properly during the installation of Visual Studio. There is an easy workaround for this installation issue that will restore full functionality of Jscript IntelliSense. To fix the problem, you will need to modify two...

In addition Visual Studio will show extender properties in the property grid when viewing properties of a control once it has been extended. JScript syntax validation Visual Studio now has basic syntax validation for Javascript code. The editor will now squiggle known syntax problems with a red underline, and...
