Angular Language Service for Visual Studio Update

Gabrielle Crevecoeur
Program Manager

Last August, the JavaScript/TypeScript tools team released the Angular Language Service for Visual Studio customers. We wanted to appeal to the many ASP.NET/ASP.NET Core users that are building their front-end projects with Angular. Though there was a lot of praise around this extension, the experience was not so great for all users. We want you to know we heard you and we have made some changes.   

Updates and Bug Fixes 

We constantly tracked issues in our Github repository and monitored feedback from the Visual Studio Extension site to see what bugs needed to be prioritized and what features needed to be added. In this update we have tackled two major issues:  

  1. A System Aggregate Exception caused by the extension
  2. HTML Completions not working properly 

We also updated the extension to support the latest version of the language service (v11.2.8) and the latest version of TypeScript (v4.2.3) 

An upcoming fix we are currently working on is being sure completions in project buffers are handled properly with the extension. You can read more here. 

 

Try the New Version  

If you haven’t tried the Angular Language Service extension and want to learn more about it, you can read more about it here. 

Ready to try the new version now and looking for the extension download page? It can be found here. 

Please continue to submit all requests and bugs to our Github repository. You can also continue to leave feedback in the comments of the extension page as well.

    unfortunately, VS do not have "folder project" , so it's hard to work with the angular in vs that the project backend is .net core and front end is Angular

    we need a "folder project" in solution file or standalone file (that must simple like the new .net sdk style)
    for example
    <code>

      What do you mean by project folder? What do you want it to accomplish?

        a) .net project managed by .sln file
        b) current angular project must inside a asp.net core project.
        c) angular project inside asp.net core project has really bad dev experience, any change to the asp.net core project will cause : stop asp.net core => store angular dev server => start asp.net core => start angualr devserver => angular build for a million years => after a...
