It is our goal to provide Enterprise support for jQuery and to give back to the community. Intellisense is an important feature for Visual Studio 2010 developers and we want to make that easy when it comes to jQuery.
Along these efforts we have started to develop and host jQuery vsdoc files for Visual Studio 2010 and we will continue to provide up-to-date vsdoc files as new versions of jQuery are released.
Current Release
You can find the most recent version of the jQuery vsdoc above or you can always check out our GitHub repository.
For those new to using jQuery with Visual Studio with jQuery, the vsdoc version of the file allows Visual Studio to use Intellisense for jQuery development. The vsdoc file contains XML annotations, within JavaScript comments, which allow Visual Studio to parse, interpret and provide Intellisense while working with JavaScript files, and in this case, jQuery.
If you're still using Visual Studio 2008 and haven't yet updated it with the latest Service Pack, you'll need to do so before being able to make use of the extended Intellisense for JavaScript. You can get SP1 for Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 Express here.
If you're already using Visual Studio 2010, you should be good to go.
For more information on using the jQuery vsdoc and Javascript Intellisense, please visit Scott Guthrie's original post, Jeff King's original "Rich Intellisense for jQuery" post, or Rick Strahl's post.
