One of the reasons why I like Visual Studio .NET and with the Community edition, you got plenty to work with under one IDE.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] accessibility tester for development environment.

I am very interested in a tool that integrates with an IDE and offers help at time of writing code. Like JSLINT, or Visual Studio Intellisense but for accessible HTML, as Vasu mentioned.

Based on what JP said, I did some searching and there is good news for Microsoft developers. I found this blog article published May 2nd of this
year: Building Accessible websites just got a lot easier: Web Accessibilty Checker <https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2016/05/02/building-accessible-websites-just-got-a-lot-easier/>

I'm adding it to my VS2015 install now to take it for a spin.

Thanks,
