XAML Intellisense for Databindings!

Resharper 6 adds intellisense to XAML by helping you specify the object you are binding to (your View Model) as the Design Instance in your XAML. This enables you to enjoy sweet intellisence no matter how you choose to join your view to your wiewmodel at runtime.

ViewModel:

When you ViewModel is not specified, you can press ALT+Enter to get some help specifying it:

This is how you specify what ViewModel to use for intellisense (it must have a parameter-less constructor by the way...):

And now I have my intellisence by pressing Ctrl-Space after the Path=:

Great, I have been waiting for that and I’m definitely upgrading to Resharper 6!
