You all probably know that new HTML 5 standard is coming. We made a new intellisense schema that you can add to VS 2008 or VWD Express 2008 and get intellisense and validation on HTML 5 elements. Note that schema is for markup only, we do not have DOM2 update for jscript intellisense yet. How to install the schema: Download attached ZIP file. Place html_5.xsd in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html Run either x86 or x64 reg file depending on the OS and VS/VWD flavors installed.

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...

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...
When you add a global.asax file to your "Web Application Projects (WAPs) like below: and then write code in Application_Start event and try to debug it like below using Visual Studio inbuilt Development Web Server Then during your first debug the breakpoint is hit but during your subsequent debug runs the breakpoint is not hit. The reason behind this is that we do not kill the ASP.Net Web Server process after your every debug run and hence Application_Start() is not fired every time. There is a good reason why we do so... Starting ASP.Net Web Server process is an expensive task and in most of the scenarios recycling this process after every debug would adversely impact your performance... If you do not want to debug...
