Is there any way to import a webkit engine browser component to visual basic 2010 so i can use it in my project instead of the default IE?
Yes you can, simply use that http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/
I dont tried it, I always used the Gecko Engine in .NET, never had problems with it, it is more famous: http://www.geckofx.org/ but they just broke their website

I'm looking to build a web app with HTML, TS, SASS, Jquery.
I looked into using Visual Studio for this but it looks like all web projects would require some server side code?
Should I use VS Code instead? Even though I have more experience with VS.
If you are only going to use HTML, TS, SASS and Jquery, and other client side technologies, VS Code is more than enough.
Some advantages of VS Code are:
It is 100% Free
Lightweight. Uses less computer resources (Memmory, processor)
You can run it in Windows, Linux and MacOs
It can be perzonalized a lot throught extensions.
Can you work with those technologies (HTML, TS, SASS, and JQuery) with Visual Studio? Yes. However, considering that it requires more resources and it does not give you any advantage than using VS Code, using VS Code is a better option.
In the future, if your needs require it, you always will be able to install Visual Studio.
I've wondering if it's possible to use visual studio (2013) to develop a HTML5 based website (HTML5-CSS-jQuery-etc), like Dreamweaver (which I hate by the way). Working with MVC Views was so easy because of IntelliSense, so that's why basically asking this. I want make a webpage, but the only option is ASP.NET...
For all those who are going to ask: Yes I've searched about this, but all the tutorials were about ASP.NET
Visual Studio 2012+ offers built-in support for HTML5 as explained in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj618298.aspx. You can create an empty web site and write your code/markup in it.
For the earlier 2008-2010 versions there is a VS extension:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/d771cbc8-d60a-40b0-a1d8-f19fc393127d
Can we now debug websites / services and set break points while using Google Chrome as the browser ? Or is this still only supportable in IE ?
I know before setting breakpoints (F9) and then debugging in IE worked without problems but using chrome was never supported.
I have tried to use google to find the answer to this but I am still unable to confirm it, I can't believe that debugging on services / sites are still not support in VS via another browser apart from IE.
I know the VS 2013 is upcoming, maybe this will address the problem?
EDIT
Sorry i should have made it clear, i am talking about client side debugging directly in VS using a NON IE Browser
You are misunderstanding client and server-side.
Client-side:
We don't care if the website is developed in .Net, with Visual Studio, PHP or whatever you want, the browser gives you some tools for debugging websites so the problem is from the browser not Visual Studio. Even if you upgrade to VS 2013 that won't change your problem, Visual Studio has no way to know the state of the JavaScript for a page opened by a client for example.
You may have heard about SignalR used in VS 2013 (Browser link feature) and that may have confused you, if so SignalR is only for refreshing client-side pages when you edit the view for example, but not for debugging.
Server-side:
Add your breakpoint in Visual Studio and then attach the debugger (Tools > Attach to process). In that way you will be able to debug server-side code (e.g. C# code) in Visual Studio. Note that the browser has no way to know the code server-side.
Is there any way that I can get visual studio (2010 or other) to decide what browser to launch depending on the type of project I am working on? I prefer to use IE when I am developing Silverlight projects, and Chrome / Firefox / anything but IE when I am working on ASP.NET projects. Of course manually setting my default browser is always an option depending on what I am doing, but I feel like VS2010 should be smart enough to handle this for me. Any ideas?
You could use the WoVS Default Browser Switcher. Whilst it won't automatically detect the project type, it allows you to set the default browser in one click.
use this extension
It's pretty good.
For extension development, is there a javascript interactive shell , that has intellisense (shows what methods and properties an object has) ?
Or is it possible to do this with the debugger that supports intellisense (maybe VS2008/intellij idea 9 ) ?
Both Visual Studio 2008 and Aptana offer intellisense for Javascript. I can report that the visual studio support is rather lacking, very few of my extension's objects and functions are included and there seems to be no support for working across multiple files. I'm hoping that Aptana will be a bit better but I won't have time to try it for a while.
