title: AngularJS intellisense not working on Visual Studio 2015
body: <p>According to this <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/02/05/using-angularjs-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">post</a> intellisense should also be working on the new VS 2015, but so far I only get intellisense for the angular object and not for the dependencies or my custom modules.</p>

  <p>Here's what I did:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Added the angular.intellisense.js to the global javascript references at  <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\JavaScript\References</code>  </li>
  <li>Restarted VS2015
  And then nothing, it just showed exclamation marks whenever I tried to use intellisense on a $http object.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I also added the file to the same place as my angular.js but it still didn't work. The question that I have in this case is, where should I place the file? on the angular public folder with only my angular.js, or on my dev angular folder where all the files downloaded from bower are.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried addind it directly into the tools/options/text editor/javascriptr/intellisense/reference menu, on the Implicit(Web) reference group, but it still didn't work.</p>
  
  <p>On my project I have the following folder structure inside the src folder:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>wwwroot
  
  <ul>
  <li>app (my angular site stuff)
  
  <ul>
  <li>controllers</li>
  <li>services</li>
  <li>views</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>lib (js dependencies, only the .min.js file of each library)
  
  <ul>
  <li>angular</li>
  <li>angular-route</li>
  <li>....</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>_references.js (the visual studio js references file, contains reference to the files inside the app and lib folders)</li>
  </ul></li>
  <li>Libraries (contains the full libraries as downloaded by bower)
  
  <ul>
  <li>angular</li>
  <li>angular-route</li>
  <li>...</li>
  </ul></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>As a side note, I don't have a /scripts folder and therefore no <code>/scripts/_references.js</code> file</p>
  
  <p>.</p>
