Please tell me if anything seen here is expected, C# .NET core projects and C# MSTest core projects in one solution. VS2019 16.5.2 / VA 10.9.2366.0
Attribute [TestClass]
Different colors between the three privates (not mentioning Needle which is a class)
Correct coloring in the comment but not the parameter
once more the privates
Attributes [Column] and [NotMapped]
Attribute [Table]
Now, why is Needle colored correctly as class/function in one snippet but not in the other, same file.
Now you tell me...

Yes, it all makes sense - thanks for your time spent going through it :) I will just hope that one day in the future Visual Studio will be improved to allow the same application of colours in tooltips (by extensions) as it allows within the text editor itself! |

This is good. Does the tooltip colouring you are seeing now make sense, and seem reasonable? I think I have covered all of the points you have raised so far. |

Yes, you are correct on all counts :) If I disable VA, then the middle tooltip disappears completely! |

These three screen shots make some sense, assuming VA syntax colouring of tooltips is turned off.
The first screen shot, this looks like the standard IDE colouring of the tooltip, with VA having added a comment it has found to the bottom of the tooltip. Since VA is not being asked to colour the tooltip, we are not adding any colouring.
The third tooltip comes entirely from VA, and again, you have asked VA for no colouring. Otherwise this tooltip should be coloured.
But the middle tooltip is a bit confusing. If you disable VA via the menu entry:
VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X
do you still get a tooltip when hovering the mouse here, and does it get any colour? I am wondering if for some reason the IDE is not showing a tooltip here, leaving it entirely to VA, which is then obeying the no colour setting. |

If I turn off VA coloring just for tooltips, or turn off VA enhanced syntax coloring completely then I see these tooltip colors (same 3 examples as above) (note I roughly have the IDE colors set to match my VA colors from when I was testing differences)

When you are getting a lot of pure white, is tooltip colouring enabled? Is the pure white code, comment, or both? |

Thanks feline - after searching for that case number I can see there were previous reports! At least it is good to know you would fix it if it was possible. And I can switch to the IDE colors just for tooltips if I need to - although I notice those display a lot of the text in pure white in the problem cases, so guessing that's related to the problem too. |

Thank you for reporting the tooltip colour problems. Unfortunately this is a known problem:
case=65009
It is due to the way the IDE works, it is making it difficult for us to apply the correct, currently set, colours to the tooltips, so instead you end up with the default colours. |

Hovering over a return statement, then tooltip colors are wrong:

Some other problems with custom colors in tooltips that I'm seeing with a UE4 C++ project:
Comments are always a standard green instead of custom color
Parent class functions use the default VA colors instead of custom
When debugging, then all colors in tooltips use the default VA colors instead of the custom colors I've set

Regarding the 7th: Needle coloring seems to be inconsistent. In NeedleSlot.cs, there is a property definition:
public class NeedleSlot : IEquatable<NeedleSlot>
{
[...]
public Needle Needle
{
get
{
return this._needle;
}
set
{
this._needle = value;
}
}
[...]
a.Needle refers to this member:
NeedleSlot a = new NeedleSlot("Slot1", 1);
[...]
Assert.AreEqual(a.Needle, n);
So in this context, Needle is a property, colored as a variable, not a class, while the other occurrences are referring to the class, not the variable. When I disable VA, I see that Intellisense is doing the same: coloring the two differently.
Hope this makes sense. |

Strangely, when I opened your solution today, "System" was colored brown. What I've found is an AlertClass enum in AlertClass.cs, which has an enum item System. I've added a comment about this with repro steps to case=660. |

With VA disabled:
The fade out and the accesspermissions are correct.
So the different shades of privates seem to have todo with the auto-property suggestions of IntelliSense.
As for the 7th, they are both in the same file, NeedleSlotTest.cs

The 1st and 5th screenshot is caused by referring to attributes. I have put in a bug report for them:
case=142134
The 2nd and 3rd screenshot is caused by overlapping symbol names. I have added a comment about this to
case=660
4th screenshot is an IDE feature and stays even when I fully disable Visual Assist. Hover over the faded out words to see more in the tooltip and to disable it.
6th screenshot - cannot repro with your test project but should be covered by case 142134.
7th screenshot is not a bug - why is it working? It seem to be in a different file (NeedleSlotTest.cs) vs the second screetshot (NeedleSlot.cs)
8th screenshot: I cannot repro "System" coloring. Is it still brown if you temporarily disable Visual Assist by VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist?
The fade-out is a VS feature. (Trying to signal that the using directive is unnecessary)
The coloring of "AccessPermissions" seems to be correct as a class. |

Thank you for the additional information. I've created a new MSTest Core Project, and used a [TestClass()] attribute there, but I still see class color, not method color with VA syntax coloring enabled. I'm wondering what might be a factor here.
I also tried namespace with dots and #region from your screenshot, hoping it's the missing piece, but I still see the correct color for the attribute. |

You�ll have to "using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;" which will be added automatically when you create a MSTest Core Project. TestClass is an attribute from this assembly.
I�ll see if I can get some test project over to you. |

What is the declaration of TestClass? Is it a class? I tried to reproduce that problem in a C# Forms Application but wasn't able to, the class is colored as a class, not as a function.
Not sure if it makes any difference regarding coloring, but what type of C# project are you using?
Do you have a test project to share with us where we can see these kind of problems occuring? Coloring may be depend on surrounding code, and might be hard or impossible to reproduce unexpected behaviour without them. |
