intellisense

When I hover over a variable in visual studio, it brings up a small control which shows the variable name, type, and a + box for viewing members, etc. But for some types the variable type is replaced by more helpful information such as "{X = 0.0 Y = 0.0 Width = 0.0 Height = 0.0}" for a RectangleF. Is there a way to specify what should be displayed? Is there an IDE setting? Is there a function attribute? I am using visual studio 2008, language is visual basic. The DebuggerDisplay attribute would be what you are looking for: [DebuggerDisplay("x={xvar} Y={yvar} Width = {widthvar} Height =

We have a proprietary macro language in one of our products, edited through our Windows software. I would like to add intellisense, but I have no idea how to go about this (at least not without completely reinventing the wheel). Is there any sample code or 3rd party package that can at least get me started? It doesn't have to be free. The application uses .NET, written in C#. There is a CodeProject article about adding intellisense to your own applications: DIY Intellisense It should give you a good start. There are also open source packages that you can dig into if you really want dig deep

I'm using VS 2010 RC1. I download MSBuild Community Tasks (MCT) and install it. (To give full information, I have also installed MSBuild Extension Pack) Then, in order to have Intellisense work for MCT 's tasks, I copied the file C:\Program Files\MSBuild\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.xsd to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Xml\Schemas\1033\MSBuild\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.xsd I start VS and create a project (build) file as below: <Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" > <_ </Project> As starting to type a Target, I have no Intellisense

Is it possible to change the color of intellisense in Visual Studio 2010. As you can see in this screen shot. Its virtualy impossible to see the types of the parameters because they're displyed with a white foreground colour on a grey background. Success at last. If you install the Productivity Power Tools addin ( http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/d0d33361-18e2-46c0-8ff2-4adea1e34fef ) From version 10.0.10819.19 onwards you get a new option. Namely Colorized Parameter Help which allows you to customize the colors of the parameters and their types. Excellent, now I can

I am developing a backend server using SailsJS. It basically injects all model helper services, as well as my own services into the global namespace. It would benefit me greatly if I was able to get Intellisense for those services. I first set up typings and installed global type definitions for lodash and node. It works like a charm after creating a jsconfig.json and tsconfig.json files. Next I wanted to create a basic definitions file for my own services. I created a directory in typings/globals with a index.d.ts file in it: declare namespace foo { export function bar(); } declare var baz: {

While editing javascript content VisualStudio is starting to bug me with how it keeps inserting highlighted suggestions. For example it keeps inserting valueOf( if I type val( . This is really annoying. I want to invoke intellisense manually just like I can with C#, is there any way of turning off the auto-complete suggestion or at least preventing it from selecting an entry for me? Myra In Visual Studio Tools > Options > Text Editor > JScript In corresponding panel as Statement completion Uncheck Autolist members & Parameter Information I think that should do the trick I realize resharper isn

I added the vsdoc jquery reference in my js file: /// <reference path="../jquery-1.4.1.vsdoc.js" /> This works fine, but once I write inside a no conflict wrapper... (function ($) { ...here... })(jQuery); ...IntelliSense does not work. Why is this, and is there any way to solve this? Try adding the <param /> tag at the beginning of your wrapper function: /// <reference path="../jquery-1.4.1.vsdoc.js" /> (function($) { /// <param name="$" type="jQuery" /> ... })(jQuery); For Visual Studio 2008 when I write /// <reference path="../jquery-1.4.1.vsdoc.js" /> <intellisense works here> (function ($)

I've auto-complete and auto-complete+ installed on the latest version of Atom. Unfortunately, these packages don't auto-complete or suggest words while typing plain text as open office or some sublime packages do. For instance, if I am typing repo and the word repository already appears in the current document, I would like to have some sort of auto-completion / intellisense to show up. I looked, in vain, for package in atom achieving that. So, the question is, do you know any package to do that in atom or any intuitions on how to create it ? Thanks. phw Actually the autocomplete-plus package
