Using Visual Studio Intellisense for building jQuery selector strings


This is a minor issue, but one I find myself running into:



When I am using jQuery in Visual Studio 2010, I find myself frequently typing:




$(#S



using Intellisense to find the SomeID object ID:




$(#SomeID).click( function() { etc.. })



then going back and adding quotes:




$('#SomeID').click( function() { etc.. })



I find it annoying that if I add the quote first, Visual Studio goes into string mode and I lose Intellisense for finding the object's ID or class.



Am I doing it wrong?

  1. Unfortunately Intellisense for jquery on VS2010 is far from perfect,
    It has various problems like the one you mentioned above and it is knowN to cause performance issues within VS itself, for me typing at times was unbearably slow.
    You could always create some snippets to speed up your worklow, but unfortunately that wont actually fix your problem with the intellisense. Lets hope they release a fix for this in their first service pack.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
