Support intellisense for ASP.NET Forms
WebMatrix is a great free editor with really nice extensibility features. I'm working on an extension to support remote SharePoint page editing (masterpages, pagelayouts, ...) based on my SharePoint.DesignFactory.ContentFiles NuGet package. Problem is: I don't get intellisense working on ASP.NET Forms pages (SharePoint is built on that). I tried with the simplest case: create web project in Visual Studio, open in WebMatrix. Site works, but intellisense doesn't!

Sorry, but we’re focusing on Razor for our web story. Visual Studio Web Developer Express will continue to be free and have great WebForms support!

Hi Allison,
I get the HTML intellisense, but the aspx intellisense is not working. I want to use it to edit SharePoint aspx files, I'm building tooling around it (to be published soon). It is a pitty that aspx intellisense is missing... Is there a way I can add that myself?

Problem is that you can't build extensions on Visual Studio Express...

Thanks for the feedback! I want to double check what you mean by not getting intellisense to work. Do you not get any intellisense at all? Or are you not seeing intellisense for ASP.NET syntax?
I assume you are using .aspx-type pages? We currently only provide HTML intellisense for those file types, and we do not support intellisense for asp tags such as <asp:Textbox>
