Hi everyone,

 

After giving up trying to make an installer with WiX, I used the VS Setup project to make one.

 

I tried editing the wiki to add a download link but we still have the no-CSS+JS problem.

 

You can download the MSI here:

http://www.jonorossi.com/projects/cvsi/cvsi-0.1-preview1.msi

 

Let me know if you have any problems. Just so you realise, there are no start menu items, you will know if works by opening a *.vm or *.njs file in VS.

 

NB: You do not need the VS SDK to use this.

 

Regards, Jonathon Rossi

Hi Jonathon,

I've installed it and it works perfectly for me. Superb work!

Double thumbs up here!   I'd been hesitating because I guess I was worried the SDK would slow down VS :-)  Love it!

Hey Jonathan,

Would it be difficult to add JS coloring for inline script blocks inside vm files?  i.e. the same colorization as what you find in .js files.

It wouldn’t be that difficult, but at the moment I think it is more important to work on intellisense for NVelocity. Colourising for JavaScript doesn’t give much value because there isn’t that many keywords. If you really want it, a patch is always welcome ;-).

 

That would make it 3 languages in one file, yay for complex language processing.

We will get Javascript intellisense in the next version of Visual Studio, will that then work for .vm / .njs files as well?

Unfortunately, unless Microsoft make it extendable no. I’m hoping that it will be extendable and that I will just be able to plug it into the NVelocity language, however I doubt it will be that easy. The VS2005 isn’t extendable nor is the 2005 XML or HTML editor.

I just installed the colorizer but it seems that my previous association of .vm to the html editor is braking it's functionality.  Whats worse is that I can remember for the life of me where the association is set in vs2005 to remove it.  If anyone remembers where it's set please speak up :/

in any case thanks for the good work :)

Freyr

Right click the .vm, choose "open with". Select Source editor then set as default.

Sweet! Works for me. Did you say intellisense for NVelocity?!?
Makes me quiver with anticipation!

I found a problem with having links that go nowhere, such as this:

<a href="#">

it still compiles and everything, it just displays a warning =(

I guess it thinks that I'm trying to reference a nvelocity function

where should we submit bugs?

Odd. I do this all over the place in a couple of apps without problems...

I forgot about that bug, I realised that bug a while ago but never got around to fixing it.

 

Could you submit it to JIRA under the contrib project with CVSI as the component. Thanks.

It seems there was another bug filed for # literals. Do you still want
me to submit a seperate bug for this or are they related?

I forgot to mention earlier, this is an awesome feature! I can't
express how much this rocks! Great job man. I'm sure everyone really
appreciates it as do I.

It is the same bug, no need to submit another one.

It's nice to know you like it.
