Any way to get Intellisense in Visual Studio 2010 to work with Unity?
I've already got Visual Studio 2010 installed, so I did not select to install MonoDevelop when I installed Unity. However, I've noticed that when I edit C# scripts from Unity (which launches Visual Studio to edit the .cs file) I don't get the drop down list that appears as you're typing to show auto complete options for classes/properties that match what you've typed so far (aka Intellisense). I've noticed in the tutorial videos that they do get this in MonoDevelop, so I would assume it is possible for VS to do it as well but I can't figure out how to make this work. Anyone else done it or does everyone just use MonoDevelop?

15 seconds on Google that is all.
Well I got it working without doing it the way shown in that thread you linked to. Ins$$anonymous$$d I just went to Edit -> Preferences -> External -> Browsed to devenv.exe (the Visual Studio IDE EXE) and now it all works fine.
@Chris128 I did what you just said and it worked perfectly. $$anonymous$$uch more help than the so called '15 seconds on google' solution :P
