Visual Studio

This Beta 2 should be more stable. The VS team also put a lot of effort (so I hear) on performance improvements.

As always, Scott Guthrie knows how to give us the headlines, best way possible:

 If you get an error message as appears in the post's title, you will probably get a recommendation "try to instal Visual Studio". So don't.

 

I found several techniques that may help solve this problem. Before you try anything (especially messing the registry), try the following command line:

 

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

 

At least for now my problem is solved.

Visual Studio 2008 support Java Script IntelliSense. It does so by using a "-vsdoc.js" file, which is saved together with the "original" ".js" file. For example, if you're using JQuery, and use jquery-1.3.2.min.js file, you can put a jquery-1.3.2.min-vsdoc.js file just next to it (available from JQuery download page), and that's it.

 

Unfortunately, this may not work, and all you get is: "Error updating JScript IntelliSense: Object doesn't support this property or method".

 

One of the things may cause this issue is a bug in Visual Studio. If you're using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (like I do), there's a patch you can install that adds JScript Editor support for “-vsdoc.js” IntelliSense documentation files.

Installing external VS add-ons may be risky - it may break Visual Studio and make it unusable.

 

It happened to me twice: my VS 2008 was broke in a way that I was unable to create new projects, or even new classes. I would think a simple solution is easy to find, but I found myself reading recommendations for hand-fixing the Windows registry.

 

The problem I had was related to TemplateWizardInterface, which was added when I installed the Guidance Automation Extensions (GAX). Installing new add-on re-create the problem. So, here's a real easy solution:
