Client Object Model Javascript intellisense

Question

I created a new test.js file in the project node of my web part solution with VS 2010 and included the references:

/// <reference path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\MicrosoftAjax.js" />
/// <reference path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\SP.debug.js" />
/// <reference path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\SP.Core.debug.js" />

I then proceeded to write a basic test.

function test() {
    this.Cli

I stopped at the letter i. I was hoping IntelliSense would prompt me with ClientContext and help me along. This does not happen. Is this by design? I am following Microsoft procedures here for stand alone .js files. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff798328.aspx

Answer 1

Did you update the JavaScript Intellisense by pressing Ctrl+Shift+J ? Restarting Visual Studio should also help.

Answer 2

The problem is that the path to MicrosoftAjax.js was incorrect. It turns out that the Ajax tools were buried in a few places under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7... Perform a search for the file and then copy it to the LAYOUTS directory with the others. Then perform Ctrl+Shift+J to refresh the library.
