Looking For: Writing ColdFusion in Visual Studio

A reader asked me this morning about plugins/extensions/etc for doing ColdFusion development in Microsoft's Visual Studio. He was able to find Flex support (Amethyst and Tofino) and is hoping something may exist for ColdFusion. Anyone have a suggestion?

I don't think such plugin available. I really love to this feature as sometime I need to work with .net and coldfusion projects.

I have been looking for the same thing, dreamweaver has screwed me too many times. And it would be nice to always have the same IDE open.

If the reader is just looking to edit vb and .net and ColdFusion in the same IDE, they may a CFBuilder implementation with vb/asp plugins if they are out there. This looks like a good eclipse plugin that supports coloring for the languages that VS handles.

It has been a couple of years since this post. Did you ever find a plugin?

Nope. But I wasn't looking. ;)

Check out IntelliJ IDEA. The free version doesn't have CFML support (because ACF isn't free, they say), but the paid version does, and it's awesome! Has warts, like everything, but it's the most enjoyable and productive IDE I've used, ever, and it supports a whole bunch of languages. Try it!
