Silverlight Studio 2011.1 build 112 Maintenance Release

A new Silverlight Studio maintenance release is now available. This build focuses on major new updates to SyntaxEditor and its add-ons. Updates include:

SyntaxEditor

SyntaxEditor Control

• Updated the XML language definition to support !DOCTYPE internal subsets.
• Added the IAstNode.FindDescendantNode method that recursively locates a descendant node containing an offset.
• Fixed a bug in the incremental automatic outlining node update logic.

.NET Languages Add-on

• Documents no longer need a filename set to get automated IntelliPrompt working, making it easier to get started.
• Added XML comment summary documentation into quick info tips when available.
• Added new IDocumentationCommentAutoCompleter service that auto-generates stub XML documentation comments when starting to type them for a type or method, can auto-complete end tags, and inserts continuation delimiters on the next line when pressing Enter.
• Added completion list for documentation comment tags.
• Added keywords into completion list.
• Added context locations that can narrow down the list of items presented in a completion list.
• Improved resolver capabilities (generic method type inference, implicit variables in foreach, lambda expression parameters, anonymous method parameters).
• Added the CanShowOnTypedWordStart property to the CSharpCompletionProvider and VBCompletionProvider classes, which allows completion list auto-show when starting to type words in certain scenarios.
• Added automatic outlining for region proprocessor directive and documentation comment blocks.
• Added a DocumentationComment property to the AST TypeDeclaration and TypeMemberDeclaration classes, and updated the parsers to set the property when documentation comments are found.
• Updated the binary assembly loading code's probing logic.
• Added the IAssembly.Documentation property that can be set to an IAssemblyDocumentation instance to provide documentation comments for the assembly's types/members. FileBasedAssemblyRepository is the default implementation that can be used, security permitting.
• Added the IDotNetParseData interface and related DotNetParseData implementation class to allow for future extensibility.
• Improved infrastructure to better support access from multiple threads.
• Fixed a bug where completion lists could show in comments and preprocessor directives.

Web Languages Add-on

• Updated the lexer and grammar to support !DOCTYPE internal subsets.
• Updated the IXmlValidator.Validate method to accept an additional IAstNode parameter.

Shared Library

• Fixed a bug where the designer could throw a licensing exception after the built-in evaluation period expired
