developing VB Scripts

Hi there,

What development environment does one use for creating VBScripts? It looks
like VS2003 supports it but not VS2005. Does anyone have any thoughts on
this. I know one can create it with note pad, but I was hoping for something
that had intelisense.

Also, is there anywhere that there is a primer for developing VB Scripts?
Thanks! Happy coding!

VS2005 works fines for coding VBScript. Although I use Notepad2 and
Notepad++ as well. None gives particularly extensive intellisense when
compared with coding stronger languages like C++, C# or even VB6.

CarpetKing,

I use UltraEdit32 (www.ultraedit.com), which has configurable code
completion and autocomplete.

The home site has a huge number of language files for syntax highlighting.
You can crank out you own autocomplete files for various DLL objects using
tools like TLViewer (www.tlviewer.org/tlviewer)

UEdit32 supports projects. Its not uncommon to have scores of script
files, in a handful of different languages: PY, PL, VBS, SQL, XML, CSS, PHP.

It may take a few weeks or months to master but I've found it better than
the Monolithic VS apps since you are in control.

PrimalScript is the best tool for all your scripting needs. It does
cost $$$, but it is worth it.

http://www.sapien.com/ and you can try it for free.

Try www.vbsedit.com

In addition to intellisense, there's a decent object browser and
debugger.
