Intellisense in C#



Intellisense in C# Mike

visual studio .net general: I have been coding in VB.NET using Visual Studio .NET for the past 3 years or
so. A few days ago I started developing a new ASP.NET application and decided
I would do it in C# as a learning experience.

One of the things I always enjoyed about the VS.NET IDE is the way the
Intellisense works. Not only in the pop up lists but also how if I do
something like write a try-catch block, as soon as I type 'try' the IDE
completes the rest of the framework for the block of code so all I have to do
is fill in the blanks so to speak. It not only saves me some typing but also
helps if I happen to forget some syntax from time to time. Also I know
immediately if I have a syntax error because I get the squiggly line under
the piece of code. And when I fix the error the squiggly line goes away
immediately.

I'm finding working in C# that of the above Intellisense features the only
one that seems to work are the pop up lists. I'm wondering if its a case of
me not having something configured correctly or does the Intellisense for C#

Yes, C# intellisense is completely different from VB. VS IDE provides common
UI for intellisense operations, but actual engine is unique for each
language and depends on how particular language service and compiler are
implemented.
