Ok, after using C# extensively for some days, here is a short resume of VAX and C# under VS2003.NET
* the coloring problems of various classes, namespaces, enums, etc. are confusing
* suggestion lists are more often than not wrong, missing important members
* typing with suggestion lists open does seldom bring the expected results
* namespace resolution is buggy (turn off guessing helps) and thus confusing.
This, and various small details, already listed on various other threads, make using VAX C# currently painful. In fact, it has almost no advantage over the standard IntelliSense, given the fact that it does not save many keystrokes, does not give much extra information, and sometimes even makes me type more.
While VAX is pretty stable for C++ (although it still needs tweaking), I cant recomend it for C# now. There is still long way to go. |

We appreciate your assessment. We cannot argue. We can only fix VA X until is helps.
We discovered a bug in build 1233 related to scope and your Smilla code. The bug makes suggestions meaningless. We expect the fix in 1234.
As for coloring, we see the biggest problem with properties. Blue.blue.gray.blue.gray is confusing. We are looking for a solution so we display Blue.blue.blue.blue.gray.
Nels Olsen has offered several suggstions for coloring in C#, some of which you already know. Find one at:

Uhm, in this case I can not agree with you. "Fix" is for bugs, not for basic functionality. And VAX for C# has still a long way to go to provide the basic functionality.
Anyway, I'm not yet giving up on VAX  |

| You are correct. Maybe we should say, "fix the basic functionality for C#." In any case, we get the point. |
