A very basic question.

I have just installed Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition and was was going to make some use of jQuery.

I heard that jQuery is now supported by Visual Studio, but my question is.

What do I need to do to use it? Is is already included in the VS installation or do I need to download it separately and reference the downloaded library?

Thank you

    Download the Visual Studio version of jQuery (should have vsdoc in the name) here.

    You can use this hotfix to have the vsdoc js files be automatically detected, or use this slightly hackish workaround:

    For jQuery intellisense in an ASP.NET file:

    <script src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<% if (false) { %}
  <script src="jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<% } %>

    The “if (false)” bit ensures that the script won’t ever actually be included, but intellisense will still pick up the reference.

    For jQuery intellisense in another js file:

    // <reference path="jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js" />
