Is there an MSI to provide support for intellisense in Visual Studio
2010?

I know there is an installer for VS2008, but I haven't seen one for
VS2010 on GitHub or TeamCity.

Is someone working on this? I haven't gotten intellisense to work in
VS2010 yet. Has anybody else?

I have not seen any development done on one yet. Does anyone know if the language service is different in VS2010? I imagine so, if its not working.

Hi Donn,

It is very different in Visual Studio 2010. Everything about the
editor has changed. They do provide a shim layer for Visual Studio
2010 for support of older plugins. From experience writing an
intellisense plugin for VS 2010, it is best to start over, because so
many more things are now possible, it would be a detriment to the
intillisense plugin to keep the old VS 2008 code around.

For example it is now very easy to take an existing editor, say the
HTML editor, and add your own layer on to of it. So instead of the
Spark plugin trying to duplicate the HTML intilisense support, it is
now easy to say that you want to base your new editor off all the
coloring, intellisense, and intelligence built in tot he already
existing HTML editor.

And you can even have the exisiting HTML editor work on top of the
*.spark files, and then when the special command insertion points
happen, ${...}, that is all that the new spark editor has to handle,
which should be pretty straight forward. I just wish I had more time
to dedicate to creating the plugin for Visual Studio 2010, because we
could bring *.spark to a first level support in VS 2010 with very
little effort.

Nick,

Can you point me in the right direction for some examples on how to
implement this with the new designer?

I'm working on a team that will probably use spark so I'll need
intellisense for them. If I need to write it myself I'll do so and
submit the code. But I'd love to have an example, etc. Do you have
something like that?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Donn
