I experienced a problem when installing Team System over the Professional Edition it broke some of my Asp.net extensions, so, might be one circumstance you would look out for.

VS 2008 update provides better intellisense for jQuery

MattPenner — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:53:56 GMT

Got these two posts on the jQuery user group. I don't have VS2008 at work so I can't attest to this. James, have you had a chance to check this out?

Saw earlier today that someone went through and commented the whole

jquery.1.2.3 file so it is nice and friendly with the latest version of studio

To get jQuery and intellisense working properly, there was a hotfix released the other day that makes it possible:

and more info with great comments and feedback:

For those of you who would be interested, the javascript intellisense tool in VS 2008 (which was previously not compatible with jQuery AT ALL) has been hotfixed (along with some other items). So far as I know the HotFix applies to both the Pro version and the free version (VS 2008 Web Developer).

I tested it and it worked pretty well. $. pulled up a whole list of static jQuery methods and $.fn. pulled up a whole list of jQuery functions.

It isn’t smart enough to do intelliense for chaining (ie. $(document). will NOT get you $.fn. intelliense), as javascript doesn’t have strongly type function returns, but it’s a start.

Of course, I was personally tickled pink that an MSDN HotFix would specifically address jQuery!

Visual Studio 2008 Bugs

Hello All,

I have been working on a project that's top heavy in graphic's on web pages. As such been spending a LOT of time editing pages in DESIGN mode. Well, it's not a bowl of strawberries. One issue I have noted is selecting text inside of a div is very tempermental, you get too close to the margin and your cursor jumps to the top of the div, or the bottom.

Also, when you are editing a component on a page, the properties window will suddenly change to a different component, with sometimes messy results.

Switching from source mode to design while the focus is in a properties window sometimes corrupts some element on the page, like losing a div tag, or removing an end tag on a conrol.

Any one else see these issues?

From MSDN:

Please note that after the Beta 2 installation has finished, you should run this script to ensure that the installation of .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2

will not affect the development of ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 applications.
