public class TestClassWithClassicConstructor
{
private int x;
private int y;
public TestClassWithClassicConstructor(int x, int y)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public int Add()
{
return x + y;
}
}
The above code can normally display the Add method in the dropdown.
After converting the constructor to a primary constructor:
public class TestClassWithPrimaryConstructor(int x, int y)
{
public int Add()
{
return x + y;
}
}
It seems that VA recognizes the primary constructor as a method instead of recognizing it as a class?

I don't understand why you could get this Alt-M list with this code. That isn't what I get. I have attached a screen shot of what I am seeing.
Which IDE and version of VA are you using?
What does VA Outline show? I have also attached what I am seeing there.
Your screen shot suggests there is other code at work that is confusing our parser somehow.

This is the full code of my screenshot, please note the class TestClassWithPrimaryConstructor.
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
public class TestClassWithClassicConstructor
{
private int x;
private int y;
public TestClassWithClassicConstructor(int x, int y)
{
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
public int Add()
{
return x + y;
}
}
public class TestClassWithPrimaryConstructor(int x, int y)
{
public int Add()
{
return x + y;
}
}
}

OK, I understand what is going on now. A primary constructor is a new feature in C# 12, which VA doesn't understand yet. I have put in a feature request to support this:

| Is there a way to be informed about progress on this feature request? Because I am running into the same issue, for most of my code files the VA Navigation bar no longer works, because of the primary constructor usage |

| Unfortunately no progress to report on this yet, but it is something we are keeping an eye on. It is good to know this is effecting you, since how many people are effected is one of the criteria we use when working out how to prioritise things. |

Could you please speed up the process? I have to write about the constructors in a lot of places to make the IDE happy:
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Style", "IDE0290:Use primary constructor", Justification = "Otherwise Visual Assist will not recognize the members.")] |

No progress to report on this yet unfortunately.
This isn't an ideal work around, but at least it is something.
Can you email me at [email protected] about this please? The new reports management run to track interest levels in the open bug reports don't pick up forum posts, so an email report will carry more weight. |

Navigation Bar doesn't support primary constructor
