Those who are excited like me about the news of jQuery integration into Visual Studio, started adopting jQuery replacing ASP.NET AJAX Client side API. Microsoft also declared there will be a patch for Visual Studio which will support jQuery as well as intellisene for that. For the enthusiasts who just can’t for it, here is the way how we can start developing using jQuery with full intellisense support inside Visual Studio 2008:

1. Download jquery-1.2.6-vsdoc.js

2. Inside your JavaScript files, add a reference to it by placing the following line at the top of the JavaScript file:

/// <reference path="jquery-1.2.6-vsdoc.js" />

That’s it. Enjoy!
