RE: [Nant-users] IntelliSense for NAnt build files

[Matt Hulse]

IntelliSense Lives!!!   Thanks for the replies.   I had typed in the xmlns as I’d seen many times but the problem ended up being that the namespace in the xsd did not match the one I was typing in.  Because of this the intellisense never worked.  I used the <nantschema> task and created my own xsd with the target namespace that I had been trying to use (http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant-0.85.win32.net-1.0.xsd.) This works great.  I can even see my custom and contrib. tasks in IntelliSense.  Awesome!   Thanks to Edwin and Bill for your help.   Long live the NAnt Community!!!   Matt Hulse     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 1:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Nant-users] IntelliSense for NAnt build files   Hi Matt,   At a guess, the bit you are probably missing is the schema reference in your .build file.  You need to change your <project> declaration to something like:   <project xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/schemas/nant-0.85.win32.net-1.0.xsd"          name="MyApp"          default="all"          basedir=".">   Without this, Visual Studio does not know which schema it needs to use to provide intellisense.  With it, you should get prompted with the valid xml elements for where you are in your build script.   HTH,   Bill     -----Original Message----- From: Matt Hulse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 September 2004 16:42 To: 'Boland, Craig'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Nant-users] IntelliSense for NAnt build files   I read a lot about “IntelliSense” and have followed the instructions posted in this forum to attempt to use VS.Net 2003 with IntelliSense for editing .build files.  I am confused though about how it should work.  When the word IntelliSense is used, I am expecting more than syntax highlighting.  Can some degree of code completion / parameter listing / member listing be achieved with .Net and NAnt build files? or am I misunderstanding the use of the term IntelliSense.  I ask this because by following the instructions in all of the posts regarding Intellisense and build files I am no further ahead then if I just use a text editor that supports syntax highlighting for XML.   Could someone please straighten me out?   Thanks,   Matt Hulse [EMAIL PROTECTED]       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Boland, Craig Sent: Monday, September 13, 2004 8:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Nant-users] IntelliSense for NAnt build files   All,   Check out this post for enabling IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2003 for NAnt build files:   http://dallas.sark.com/SarkBlog/cboland/archive/2004/09/13/381.aspx     Craig Boland Software Architects, Inc. http://dallas.sark.com/sarkblog/cboland   ______________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE This communication and the information it contains is intended for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
