.NET 5 Intellisense data needs to be updated

.NET 5 still using intellisense data from .NET Core 3.0 docs. This needs to be updated to use .NET 5 docs based data.

@dotnet/dotnet-winforms - dotnet/winforms also has this bug I think.

@vatsan-madhavan - what is the value for 5.0?

[vatsan-madhavan]

There isn't one yet. Once someone creates and uploads the zip bundles containing the right intellisense data to the Azure Blob Store, they can give it whatever version they want. I recommend the next value in the version space, like 0.0.0.2 ;-)

See https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/blob/master/docs/intellisense.md and https://github.com/dotnet/wpf/blob/master/Documentation/intellisense.md

@carlossanlop is this something you're working on?

[vatsan-madhavan]

The blob items in WPF/Winforms repos were invented and owned by WPF. They are only meaningful in these repos because the targets that read them are custom-written for these repos. The zipped blob themselves are organized to match the expectations of these WPF/WinForms specific targets.

The content may come from docs repo build, but only a subset (specific to WPF/WinForms) of the intellisense XML's from docs-repo the build are xcopied over to created these zip/blobs.

In other words, these are not part of a generic Arcade facility, or owned by docs team etc.

I expect WPF would create the new blobs and upload them to the Azure Storage, and both repos would update their versions.

Ideally, this system should be deprecated/removed in favor of something more standardized provided by Arcade - when such a system becomes available.

In that case making sure that @fabiant3 and @ryalanms have this on their radar. We definitely want to get something in for 5.0.

What's the due date for this work please? 😄

[fabiant3]

RC1 ships next week, so likely RC2?

[TheFanatr]

Is there some news on this?

[carlossanlop]

@AdamYoblick can give more information, it's my understanding he was working on updating Intellisense for 5.0 in WPF and WinForms. We already updated IntelliSense in Runtime in RC2.

This has been absolutely done for a long time, the issue was just never updated.

• bump intellisense version winforms#4097
• Update intellisense version #3640

Going to close out this issue.
