intellisense

I like the way Visual Studio (2008) formats C# code; unfortunately it seems it doesn't behave in the same way when writing C++ code. For example, when I write a code in this way: class Test { public: int x; Test() {this->x=20;} ~Test(){} }; in C# (ok this is C++ but you can understand what I mean), this part: Test() {this->x=20;} Will become: Test() { this->x=20; } This is obviously a stupid example, but there are a lot of things where putting brackets in correct position, indenting code and other things with my own hands becomes boring. I can obviously change editor if you suggest me a good

(VS 2008) I'm using a C# library for my VB.NET project. And the method summary/notes or what they are called do not show in intellisense. Is this supposed to be like that? Or is there something I must do to fix it? And if not, will VS 2010 be able to do this? EDIT: Still unresolved. Now building library dll + xml file, but how to import the xml file in my vb project? See image: http://i52.tinypic.com/25kh5xw.png In C# library, go to the properties on the build tab, and check the checkbox for including XML documentation and specify the name and path. After that include the new library in your

When you type "this." , you usually get all the routines, events, and more... of the current class you are in. And when you simply stand over one of the routines in the long list without choosing one, you usually get a description next to it. How can I do that ? Let assume I have a class called CAR with two routines: speed_up(), and brake(). How can I make the person using my class to see a description of the two functions when he types: CAR mycar = new CAR(); mycar. Above a class or a method, rather than a "//" comment. if you do a "///" triple slash ( otherwise known as an XML comment ), it

This question is more precise than my previous one: General code completion framework written in C/C++ . I did not specify it enough to get answers I really need. I want to add to my IDE the "Intellisense" code completion. I would love to have a library in C/C++/C++11, that could work as syntactic and symantic code completion tool and be general, not single language specific (I want to write completion for Java, C++ and in the future for C#, Python and Javascript). It would be good if this solution would not be one language centric - it should be general and scalable across languages. (I have

In Visual Studio 15, how do I get XAML Intellisense working for XAML files in Xamarin.Forms? Edit: Split answer from the question This solution was found on this forum by dzCepheus. To resolve the problem, append the following 2 lines of code to the bottom of catalog.xml , which should be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Xml\Schemas (this depends on your local installation directory for visual studio). The two lines of code being: <Schema href="%VsInstallDir%/xml/schemas/xaml2006.xsd" targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" />

This question actually is an implicit answer, since I could fix the problem in the meantime for myself. But I wanted to publish my experience, since some other developers might have a similar problems. The problem: I am using VS2010 prof SP1 on Windows XP SP3, pure C++ only. (AntiVirus software present). Since some days Intellisense - which is quite helpful under normal conditions - does not work anymore. Things tried: created a new simple console application. -> Intellisense still not working. resetting VS-Settings by means of Tools/Import & Export Settings/Reset. -> Intellisense still not

I'm writing my own abstract extension for Visual Studio 2010, it makes similary functionality as Ook Language Integration . I have a question, is it possibly to mix my own AutoCompletion with standart C++ autocompletion of VS? How to do it? Is in need to use libraries of VS and call some methods? This is a very good example about adding features to C# intellisense. First of all you should capture the completionSession and use it. Like this snippet, but in C++ [Export(typeof(IIntellisensePresenterProvider))] [ContentType("text")] [Order(Before = "Default Completion Presenter")] [Name("Object
