This is not a new issue but now I've seen it happen enough times that it triggered me mentioning it. Using VS 2008 and C#.

When I try to type:

throw ( new| );


and hit space to type SomeException (), Visual Assist always inserts this:

throw ( NewsStyleUriParser | );


This is incorrect, of course and it's also strange since I never used NewsStyleUriParser before. I tried clearing the VA cache several times but it didn't help.

The project has the following references:

  • System

  • Ssytem.Data

  • System.Drawing

  • System.Web

  • System.Web.RegularExpressions

  • System.Windows.Forms

  • System.Xml



Is there anything I can do to get this working correctly?

So far I wasn't able to reproduce this.
Can you please try if it happens after you disable Visual Assist temporarily?
VAssistX -> Enable / Disable Visual Assist X
What Visual Assist and Visual Studio version are you using?
Can you please create a new Windows Forms Application to see if the problem happens there?
For me, always the keyword "new" if the default in the listbox.

I don't get the problem with VA turned off. I also seem to get this problem somewhat intermittently - it happens a lot but when I use 'new' for a while, it starts listing both the 'new' keyword and NewsStyleUriParser in the suggestion list. The issue then starts again when I switch to a different source file.

The project I'm working on is a .dll project that references both System.Web and System.Windows.Forms. I also saw this behavior for well over a year with various projects, I just kept ignoring it.

Here's my VA info:

I don't really understand this. Does this problem happens when both NewsStyleUriParser and new are in the listbox? If so, what happens when you "swtich to a different source file"? Does VA stop listing NewsStyleUriParser? If so, the problem should not happen. I am confused.

Sorry, if I confused you.

When I experience the problem, 'new' doesn't appear in the listbox at all, only 'NewsStyleUriParser'. Then if I keep using 'throw ( new ... )' in the same source file, 'new' gets added to the listbox and it becomes the default item.

Now if I switch over to a different source file (same solution/project), it starts over. Because 'new' is not in the completion list, 'NewsStyleUriParser' gets inserted into the text when I type 'new' and then press space.

Let me know if it's still confusing - in any C# web project I can readily reproduce this.

*ah* Now I see the problem However, it isn't funny at all, "new" keyword should always be in the listbox.

You are very clear, thank you. Can you please try creating a new Web project to see if you can reproduce the problem there? If you can, I would be happy if you could zip it up and send it over using the support form after the jump:

Please include the URL of this topic in the description field so we can match it up.

Ok, I uploaded you a sample project.

I made a mistake saying web projects trigger this problem. The uploaded sample is a class library project that references System.Web and System.Windows.Forms at the same time. The target is .NET 2.0 and it only has a few lines of code that demonstrate the problem.

I got the project, thank you.
I was able to reproduce the problem and put in a bug report for this:

case=55775

If seems it works if you "push" something by the caret when typing, e.g.

|;
throw (new|;

It also works if you turn off VA Options -> Advanced -> Corrections -> Insert () and closing } ) ] ;

Yes, this is actually caused by the "Insert () and closing } ) ]" option. Having that closing paren to the right of the caret changes the C# completion set. You can confirm this by disabling VA and typing:

throw()<left>new<space>

Thanks for taking the time to help us nail down a reproducible scenario.
