IntelliSense

Jinx integrates with the Excel-DNA Intellisense addin. This is a stand-alone addin that provides in-sheet IntelliSense for Excel UDFs, and is deployed independently of the Excel-DNA C# addin toolkit.

To enable IntelliSense for your Excel functions exposed through Jinx, you need to install the Excel-DNA IntelliSense addin as well as the Jinx addin. When they are both installed Jinx will use the IntelliSense addin to add in-sheet IntelliSense for the functions exposed automatically. There is no additional configuration or code required.

The latest release of the Excel-DNA Intellisense addin can be downloaded from here
