I'm migrating work over to .NET 2.0 using VS2005. At first, I couldn't figure out why VSX wasn't working. I then found a post that said to disable the "Show completion list after a character is typed" option. I did, and VSX began auto completing again in VS2005.

However, it seems sub par to the standard intelisense that comes with VS2005. IE, since its no longer required to declare web control types in the code behind files (if I'm saying that right), it no longer detects control names for auto-completing.

Is it me, or is this just how it is? VSX has truly made me a better developer, and I shudder at the thought of it not being a big part in my VS2005 development cycles.

Thanks for any help!

this is an OK forum for this

without some more details of what you are doing i cannot really comment. what language are you using?

if you are using C# and the form designer then there is a known bug with partial classes. if you add a new button, e.g. m_buttonFeline to the form in the form designer VA will not recognise this as a class member function until you restart the IDE or reload the solution.

does this match what you are seeing? or are you seeing something different? if so you are going to have to help me try to reproduce what you are seeing.

That actually sounds about right. I did notice a major improvement in my web projects when I shutdown and restarted. And yes, I'm using C#.

Its almost maddening that I've become so dependent on VSX!! :)

I'll lookout for any updates - thanks for the reply!

Build 1442 was released today to the forums audience though it does not resolve the issue with partial classes that feline describes.

unfortunately no. the IDE is doing things that VA does not know about, which is going to make this somewhat tricky. i have asked for the developers to look at this soon, but so far they have not noted any progress on the case.

Is there anyway to turn off the red underline for this? I can't imagine that this isnt making everyone crazy how it flags everything as if it hasnt been declared..

If that makes any sense..

i believe this is the option you are looking for:

VA Options -> Text Editor -> correction -> underline mistyped symbols using

that's odd, the partial class problem should be basically fixed, and has been for a few builds now.

assuming you are using VS2005 then you may want to try turning off the option:
IDE tools menu -> options -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense -> Show completion list after a character is typed

which might make some difference. if this does not help then can you provide some details of what you are doing so i can try to reproduce this problem?

I tried this suggestion and it made no difference. I've duplicated it on two different machines with 1530 on VS2005:

- Create a new Windows Application (C#) project.
- Add a textbox and button to Form1 using the designer.
- Double-click on button1.
- In the button1_Click method body you're taken to, VAX does not try to complete textBox1, or button1, or any other control I might have on the form. Nor does Intellisense work after typing the "." after textBox1.

using VS2005 and VA 1530 i have opened an existing C# console test project. on the form designer i added a new button and a new text box. i then double clicked the button, which took me to the newly generated function button1_Click(...)

typing "but" in the function body produced a single autotext suggestion (question mark icon) for "button1_Click"
autotext is "you may want this", it is not a complete list of suggestions. ignoring this i pressed CTRL-SPACE and the top item in the completion listbox was "button1"

accepting this and pressing dot after it i immediately got a completion listbox for the button.

* how close is this to what you are seeing?
* do you have any other plugin's installed?
* do you have a localised OS or IDE?

I also get the single "button1_Click" as the sole item in the drop down, but I'm not able to ctrl-space to complete. In fact, I cannot even type in button1.; as soon as I type the ".", button1 is forced to uppercase "Button1".

I do not have localized versions of either Windows XP SP2 or VS2005 on either machine. One of the machines is a fresh install of XP and VS2005 with no other plugins.

VAX has never worked quite right for me with VS2005 with C#/VB.NET (although it continues to be outstanding in VS2003). I keep checking back every build or so to see if things have improved, but it does not seem that way.

I followed your instructions in the Jul 15, 5:45PM post.

For me, using VAX 1530 and VS 2005, I get completion for textbox1 and button1. Note I get a whole lot more than just one choice for "but". Maybe there are some other settings that affect this?

kklobe you could try rebuilding your VA symbol database. it is a long shot, but this might help.

VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Rebuild symbol databases
