10.3. IDE Changes

Several enhancements have been made to the IDE and designer that will interest ASP.NET developers:

  • CSS 2.1 compliance has been improved.

  • The designer is now more robust and less likely to rewrite HTML ("FrontPage syndrome").

  • There is improved support for third-party libraries (in particular, jQuery).

  • There is better performance when working with large JavaScript files.

  • The IntelliSense support for different styles of JavaScript coding has been improved.

  • JavaScript documentation comments are parsed as you code.

  • IntelliSense now contains support for ASP.NET AJAX register namespace calls.

  • Refactored IDE designer code will make it easier for Microsoft to improve the designer in the future.
