Hi GIS folks,
Can anyone tell me, how to install JSLint in Visual Studio 2012 web express edition, as the downloaded file doesn't work and I tried to google to get some info from the link below, but that didn't work either. Anyone, has got JSLint working in VS 2012 Web Express edition.

Secondly, can anyone throw some lights to make intellisense working visual studio, I tried various options as per ESRI guideline, but it didn't work at all.
Please help.

Thanks in Advance
for you help.

Hi,

There is now a JSLint.VS2012 extension that you can install from the Extension Manager. (I'm using the pro version, but I'm assuming the express still has the extension manager?) I installed it that way and it worked fine for me. Javascript is a first-class language in VS2012, so afaik there isn't anything special you have to do in order for the intellisense to "just work" (wow, I can't believe I said that about an aspect of a Microsoft product!). I am writing arcgis/dojo javascript apps with VS2012 and it is working nicely.

Good luck!

ken.

It looks like the Express edition doesn't allow you to use extensions.

It looks like Aptana has built in JSLint support, though, if you want to try that IDE.
