Just installed beta 2. Finally, intellisense in client-side javascript pages. :drool:

Gonna install it in the office tomorrow since I just use Visual Studio as a text editor for my web stuff and it shouldn't have an adverse effect on any COM I create (gonna leave VS 2003 & VS 2005 installed for that stuff).
 
No, I watched a presentation on that among other things yesterday. While it seems like a neat concept, I really don't think it adds anything over the way we currently have our application coded (xml webservices returning data to front end via AJAX).
 
Been playing on it today in the office. The intellisense is somewhat limited. It doesn't recognize any of the functions via intellisense that live at the top-level of my frameset. The typed parameters that you can define are only recognized when you put that function in a .js file and reference it in your htm page (they said the requirement is based on the fact that they don't parse the current page you are working on while you type).
 
What are the differences between the Standard and Express editions? Do the express edition not recognise some parts of the programming language or something?

I have been using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and I love it. What exactly does the Web Developer 2005 Standard/Pro offer more than the Express one?

Here's a chart.
 
I'd love to play more with the Beta myself. But, I am only 90% done converting the 1800+ files I have to 2005. Damn, Microsoft monkeys are too fast for me...

Intellisense is STILL broken :mad:

Yeah, it's somewhat limited. I was doing some more testing on it today. I had an page-level object created with properties for it set within a function. When accessing that object, it would not show me which properties it had available.

Step in the right direction but still far to go.
