How to do Fortran90 code Auto-Completion in Visual Studio 2008 with Intel Visual Fortran Compiler?

fortran, visual-studio

Solution

It doesn't - see this thread from Intel Software Network. Intel didn't plan on supporting IntelliSense for Fortran then and things haven't changed that much nowadays. Their Fortran editor is even missing basic things like automatic deindentation of `end ...` statement.

I'm not a Windows Fortran user but I would search for a better IDE. How about Eclipse + Photran? I think it supports Intel Fortran compiler and provides some nice editing features, including some advanced (for a Fortran IDE) refactoring.

Problem

As we all know that Visual Studio provides well support for C# code auto-completion and IntelliSense. Now I have Intel Visual Fortran Compiler integrated into Visual Studio 2008, and want to make Visual Studio also provides support of Fortran 90 code IntelliSense! How to deal with it? Thanks!
