Just got my free copy of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2, and i must say its great. You can download the VSIP SDK that lets you extend the IDE, including creating support for other languages. Im considering writing a plugin that lets the IDE do intellisense for D.

That would be great, if you have enough enthusiasm then go ahead, I'm sure alot of people will be interested.

I'm curious about it's possibility.
As far as i know, Visual Studio (2002,2003 and I think 2005 too)
are .NET based and (almost) all of the supported languages generate managed
(IL) code, so the resulted "assembly" is not able to run without
the .NET framework (CLR).

So I think D can not be embedded into it.

It's good to remember that many of us use Eclipse SDK (www.eclipse.org). Eclipse is very powerful and modular cross-platform SDK. But the biggest problem is that we don't have a proper D language plugin (yet ;-). I think it's a way better place to start, eh?

I don't know if it's compatible with VS 2005 Beta 2 (or even if it works with
any version of VS), but there's an inactive project at dsource called DCoder
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/dcoder/):

"Visual Studio.NET extensions for D like Syntax highlighting"

You might want to check it out.

This is not true. I working with both version 2003 and 2005b2, so i can
say that both this versions can be used to generate code even for NT DDK. Of course I mean C++ tools. And I don't see why it's impossible to add D as one of supported languages. However I prefer eclipse as Development platform for D.

I vote for Eclipse.
