Visual Studio and Javascript Intellisense

I don't know why I didn't track this down earlier, but as I was coding some jQuery AJAX today, I thought to myself, why isn't there Intellisense for jQuery? I mean, MS supports a whole plethora of other items, including Python, so why not js? Well it seems I just didn't do a quick Google search to find out about the ~/Scripts/_references.js file.

_references.js

It's really simple, you just add references to your js files in this folder of the format:

/// <reference path="jquery-1.10.1.js" />

And voila, I have intellisense.  And if you're really lazy you can simply 

• right-click this file --> 
• "Auto-sync Javascript references"
• "Update Javaascript references"

And anytime you add or remove a file, this reference is updated.
