Anyone found a PowerShell Syntax highlighting or IntelliSense plugin for Visual Studio? [closed]

Update 2013-08-20

Adam Driscoll has recently announced the PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio as successor of his former PowerGUI Visual Studio Extension - see his blog post about The Future of PowerGUI VSX for details, where he acknowledges the drawbacks of the predecessor outlined by Simon Gillbee (see previous update below) and describes how they will be addressed by removing the dependency on PowerGUI:

[...] By embedding the PowerGUI editor directly in Visual Studio it caused a multitude of problems because it really wasn’t a true language integration but more like a hack.

[...] PowerGUI VSX v2 will offer true Visual Studio language support for PowerShell. It uses the Visual Studio editor and the raw PowerShell debugger, tokenizer and completion engine. Currently, the requirement is PowerShell v3 and Visual Studio 2012. This requirement may change depending on community support and adoption. [emphasis mine]

Update 2013-07-31

Simon Gillbee has just referenced/promoted a PowerShell syntax highlighting alternative, that doesn't expose the drawbacks of the PowerGUI Visual Studio Extension he previously summarized:

• TextHighlighterExtension2012 (Visual Studio 2012)
• TextHighlighterExtension (Visual Studio 2010)

Initial Answer

The recently released PowerGUI Visual Studio Extension adds PowerShell IntelliSense support to Visual Studio. While it depends on the (free) PowerGUI graphical user interface and script editor, reusing this editor component should be a sign of maturity rather than an impediment I'd hope. (See Kirk Munros PowerShell support in Visual Studio! blog post for an introduction.)

Being a 1.0 there are still some minor issues with the extension as such, but Adam Driscoll seems to be pretty active tackling these - the PowerShell syntax highlighting and IntelliSense support is working most excellent for me already!

Here's a useful one: PowerGUI VS Extension.

I have not seen anything about Visual Studio Intellisense for PowerShell scripts.

I recommend you to try some other tools like:

• PowerTab
• PowerGUI
