Javascript Intellisense Problems - XML Comments

Posted February 11th, 2008 by dcox94

Hello,

I just started working with 2.4 with vs2008

I choose to upgrade to vs2008 (mainly) because of the javascript intellisense features.

My problem is that XML comments in .js files do not seem to work within a vsphp solution.

XML comments can be used to reference other .js files

for example in ScriptFile1.js, you can add

/// <reference path="ScriptFile2.js" />

and the javascript intellisense should include functions and objects from ScriptFile2.js

You can also add XML comments to add "help" text to a javascript function.

  function getInfo(size, color) {
        /// <summary>Get Information about the widget.</summary>
        /// <param name="size" type="Number">The Widget Size.</param>
        /// <param name="color" type="String">The Widget Color.</param>
        /// <returns type="String">Returns info about the widget.</returns>

When using a standard web project, these xml comments work as expected.
When using a vsphp project, they do not work at all.

Is this a bug? Is there a setting to turn this on?

Thank you,
Dan

    Also, In standard web projects, you can drag a file from the solution explorer into a .js file and it will create a reference for you. Thie also seems to be disabled in php projects.
