As mentioned in our previous several blog posts, we’ve been continuing to work on the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF/Silverlight, with our end goal to be to support automated IntelliPrompt features similar to VS 2010’s code editor.
Today I’d like to show a quick screenshot of some more progress in this area.
Generic types are very difficult to deal with since they can be nested in a multitude of ways and you have to properly resolve type arguments down to type parameters. Here’s a screenshot showing our automated quick info tip as we hover over the Add method invocation:
You can see how the resolver we’re building properly recognizes what the return type, declaring type, and parameter type of the method are. All this happens live. And best of all, it’s presented with full syntax highlighting, even using native type keywords where appropriate.
We’ll post more on the new features soon.
