Not sure about the right forum. I need to shell out Intellisense like feature in my application.

How can I integrate Intellisense of Visual Studio in my application?

Answer 1

Hi Paresh,

Currently, the intellisense functionality is not reusable outside the Visual Studio IDE. Intellisense support is provided by proffering various services (implemented as COM interfaces) through the VS IDE, and isn't architected or designed to be reused outside that environment.

Hi Ed

Thanks and Appreciate, for your response.

Can you let me know when this feature will be available to reuse as out-of-the-box service. (cost/free whatever)

Currently,
We have to depend upon 3'rd party intellisense providers and due to this CCU-3'rdParty(AST)
Conversion causes performance penalty.
This has following impact on final product
1) Quality (unstable as manual conversion required)
2) more testing efforts are required
3) less reliable logic

Having this feature,
 could be most admirable feature for those products which closes to visual studio.

Kind Regards,
Paresh
