Question

I’m working on a project where the backend is written using ASP.NET MVC 3 and the front end uses javascript to handle the frontend. We use the Json() function of MVC 3 to pass objects to the front end using JSON.

I was wondering if there was a tool/IDE plugin that would provide intellisense for the frontend so that I can easily manipulate the objects in javascript.

For instance:

Namespace Models.ViewModels
<DataContract()>
Public Class LinkAdmin
    Inherits Base

    Private Property LinkAdminManager As New LinkAdminManager

    <DataMember()>
    Public Property Games As New List(Of Models.ViewModels.LinkAdminGame)

End Class
End Namespace

It would be uber convenient if, on the javascript side

myLinkAdmin.ga

would let me know that it was actually Games.

I’ve just made a bunch of typos on the javascript side and was hoping to avoid those in the future.

Pretty much, I’m looking for a tool that looks at an ASP.NET object and provides intellisense to javascript. Does something like that exist?

Thanks!

If you are using Jquery then you can add the VSDoc to your page and get intellisense. Maybe there is a VSDoc that you can add?
