This *could* be a nice tool but like others have noted it is still crashing and the intellisense implementation is more hindrance than help. It frequently auto-completes stuff whether you want it to or not. Going to have to uninstall until there is a new version to try.

Excellent idea, but frequent crashes make it more trouble than it is worth. Additionally, the IntelliSense does not understand comments and keeps getting in the way when writing English. Needs some more polish to be truly useful.

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

Is there anything the community can help with?

Ian - you have hit another one out of the park. Great Job!!

This extension crashes frequently on my dev box (VS 2010, no other extensions installed) and the intellisense is pure crap, injecting the wrong text over 90 percent of the time. I got so tired of fixing its mistakes that I uninstalled the extension after only 5 minutes of usage.

It shows great promise, however, hope the developer fixes the bugs and--most especially--changes the intellisense auto-completion to stop injecting text every time I hit the space bar. (Auto-completion should fire on TAB and arrow-key events, not SPACE events, grrr.)

The only thing that works relibably is color-syntaxing. /yawn

What an AMAZING tool! I can't wait to get the opportunity to get to try it out, from what I saw on your demo video.

Every single user of VS who does *anything* with PowerShell should have this.

Well done!!! An absolute 5+ for me.

I love having syntax highlighting and code folding in visual studio. This extension makes me happy as a developer that maintains powershell scripts on a regular basis.

When I click on properties of a ps project in the solution I get the error

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Could not load type 'PowerStudio.LanguageService.Project.GeneralPropertyPage' from assembly 'PowerStudio.VsExtension, Version=1.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9fb17f1436bedd1a'.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Still pretty cool idea, but doesn't run for me. not sure if the error above is linked to the problem

      will it work if I only have the VS shell only? I downloaded and I'm not sure it was correctly installed... any ideas? thanks
    • Written September 27, 2011 
      The next version will work in the Visual Studio 2010 Integrated Shell. It will not currently install into the shell as that platform was not set up. Thank you for bringing this up. I will try to get an update out shortly. Here is the link for tracking this issue: https://github.com/IntelliTect/PowerStudio/issues/11

      There are a couple of known performance issues when typing and scrolling in large files. This will be addressed shortly.
