I have been working on an open source project PowerStudio for a while now; it is a PowerShell extension for Visual Studio 2010 and I have come to a point where I believe it is good enough for its first public release. It includes:
  • Code coloring - follows your VS settings
  • Built-in and declared variable auto-completion IntelliSense
  • Error detection for tokens and expressions
  • Tooltips for error information
  • Code folding
  • Brace matching
  • Method tagging
  • Project and file templates

I have posted a video highlighting some of the features. I have uploaded the release to the VS gallery so you can download it through VS or from the web. It does not yet support running the scripts from within VS, but I have put a lot of effort into getting that feature working and should be in the next release.

Thank you,

Ian Davis

Wow, this looks great, Ian.  I'll be sure to install this as soon as I get a chance.

Sorry, no sound, just callouts. I didn't have a microphone handy.

You had me at "code coloring", it looks good so far.

I have made a number of updates to PowerStudio. Please make sure you are running 1.0.6 as there is a significant speed fix along with a few bugs and better command completion. Updates are available through the VS Extension Manager. If you like the extension, please rate it on the gallery.

Thanks!
