Intellisense

Intellisense provides an array of features that make SXML and viper references easily accessible. When coding, you do not need to leave the Code Editor to perform searches on language elements. You can keep your context, find the information you need, insert language elements directly into your code, and even have Intellisense complete your typing for you.
