VisualStudio + PowerShell code-completion

Question

Hi everybody,

Is there a plan for VisualStudio to support (editing) PowerShell? 
I was looking for a PowerShell editor. Not only syntax-highlighting but also code-completion would be desired.

I thought the Visual Studio editor would be really cool to edit PS1 scripts... Version control (in Team Foundation Server) would be a nice plus.

 

In the meanwhile: I was looking for a good editor, so far I found PowerGUI (more a graphical editor - not 100% what I´m looking for) and PowerShellPlus (and someone mentioned SAPIEN PRIMALSCRIPT). What editor would you recommend?

 

Regards,
Rudi

--What editor would you recommend?
I'm not familiar with the PowerShell tools, but I think this blog article can help you.
There is a powershell forum in the Microsoft newsgroups. For PowerShell issues, you can post them there.

--Is there a plan for VisualStudio to support (editing) PowerShell?
Currently, I have not aware of such a plan.
