The future

[queen3]

What are the future plans for Spark? I currently use it and am totally
happy with it; it actually has everything I need (well, maybe except
for a little bit better VS integration but that's not about engine).

So, I'm just curious here - just because I like the thing ;-) I see
the issue tracker but I'm more interested in major roadmap.

One think I really would like is a way better integration with VS.
Ok, now we have intellisense for C#, but what I saw using Spark with my team of jr devs is that they don't have intellisense for HTML, and for javascript.

But now that I write it here, maybe by placing a xsd definition at the top of the file we can achieve intellisense on spark view.

The thing i miss the most is r# refactoring support. In fact this is the only thing i miss after converting my views to spark.

If i rename a view model property templates are not updated. That worked with the web forms engine. I guess r# is the primary reason i am not using a dynamic language

Does r# work for you guys on the spark files?

No, it doesn't...
or better... it works, but you cannot use the R# intellisense, you have to back off to using VS intellisense if you want to use R#

The c# intellisense works the same for me, but are you saying that a renaming refactoring using VS built-in refactoring support to a viewmodel type does update your spark template?

 

But using R#  the renaming is not reflected in the spark file?

Do you have precompilation and intellisense ?

Because if I add a <assemblies> section in Spark section group
(Web.Config) to get precompilation, I lost intellisense. When I remove
it I got intellisense but the pre-compilation failed.

pre-compilation is nice when refactoring.
