I am getting a Visual Studio Exception, the one that asks if you want to send information to Microsoft before continuing on. It happens whenever Visual Assist X attempts to autocomplete (after hitting the Tab key) for a member that is not in scope.

To repeat it, say you have a class declared as follows:

NamespaceMember.ScopingMember.ClassMember
{
    int SomeField;
    string SomeMethod();
}

NamespaceMember.ScopingMember.ClassMember MyVariable;

  • Then, after you've been working with the NamespaceMember.ScopingMember.ClassMember combination for awhile, letting VAX build up its (cache?), you type "ScopingMember." <note the "." and no "NamespaceMember".
  • VAX will offer "ClassMember" in a list.
  • If you highlight "ClassMember" and hit TAB (or ENTER), Visual Studio will throw an exception.


This has happened to me countless times and i just figured out how to make it happen.

Here's the VAX info:
-------------------------------
VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1532.0 built 2006.08.10
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.3.3.6
VATE.dll version 1.0.5.8
DevEnv.exe version 8.0.50727.42
msenv.dll version 8.0.50727.42
Font: Courier New 13(Pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 6.0.2900.2180
Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
2 processors
-----------------------------

And one other thing: in the Visual Assist X Options window, the "License" and "About" tree nodes are crossed. The "License" information is in the "About" area and vice versa.

Your note about the "About" and "License" dialogs being reversed is interesting. I can see how you think they are reversed, but this is the way they are intended to be. I think I will suggest that one or the other be renamed.

i am not quite sure what you are doing with your code. is this C++ or C# ?

assuming this is C++ for the moment, i can see the header file having:


namespace feline
{
    class chocolate
    {
        int SomeField;
        string SomeMethod();
    }
}


and the cpp file having:


static void testThings()
{
    feline::chocolate foo;
    foo.|
}


but where does your item "ScopingMember" come from? are you using a namespace inside a namespace?

do you have a sample piece of code that causes this exception that you can post?
