IronRuby is an implementation of Ruby on the .NET platform It isn't integrated in visual studio yet but you can use visual studio to debug ironruby code. There is no intellisense for ironruby and you will struggle to find any IDE that has some kind of properly working autocomplete like intellisense for the ruby language. You can use the console and ask the type for its methods if you want to use intellisense primarily for discovery.
