I recently upgraded VisualAssist X from version 10.2.1440.0 to 10.3.1548.0. With the new version, it appears that the suggestion list shown after the override keyword is broken in several ways:
1. It does not contain the complete list of override-able members from the base class
2. The tool tip that is displayed next to the selected member is incorrect
3. Accepting the list does not auto-generate the full stub for the selected member
A few notes about my setup:
- Using Visual Studio 2005
- Using C#
- "Display suggestion lists" VA option is enabled
- "Show completion list after a character is typed" VS2005 option is enabled
Here are some screenshots to illustrate these problems:
Screenshot #1:
This show bugs #1 an #2 mentioned above. Notice the suggestion list does not contain common Form overrides such as OnLoad() or OnResize(). Notice also that that the tool tip shows the documentation for the Control.AutoScrollOffset property, instead
of for the Control.OnControlAdded() method.
Screenshot #2
This shows bug #3 mentioned above. This is the code after accepting the OnControlAdded() item from the suggestion list pictured above. Notice how the method return type and body stub are not added.
Screenshot #3
This show the suggestion list with VisualAssist X turned off. Notice it contains the complete list of members and the tool tip is correct.
Screenshot #4
This shows the code that was generated when the OnControlAdded() member was accepted with VisualAssist X turned off. Notice the entire method stub is generated.
I have tried restarting VS2005 several times, but the problems mentioned above still reproduce. Could this be caused by a configuration issue on my end, or perhaps a botched upgrade? Or are these genuine bugs in the latest release? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the very clear description! I have done some checking, the problem does not show up in VA 1544, so you may want to roll back to that build for now.
case=5493
macke I am not having any success reproducing this in VB, VS2005, with VA 1548. I have a default VB windows form project with the following "Form1.vb" file:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
End Sub
override on|
End Class
Here when I type "override on" I cannot get any suggestions at all from the IDE. I assume I am using the wrong syntax, since it is some years since I have done any amount of work with VB. What should I be typing to reproduce this problem? |

| Thanks feline, build 1544 does seem to work just fine. It's nice to see you guys can reproduce the bug. As a QA engineer that always makes me smile :). |

| We do try, but there are times when reproducing the bug reports is close to impossible. I always dislike those ones, since it makes it remarkably hard to fix the problem. |

Try appending an "s" to "override" and it should work. This is probably unrelated to suggestion boxes, but I'm still experiances compiler crashes every now and then. As with the last time, I'm a bit puzzled as to if it's actually VA to blame. It hasn't occurred once when accepting a suggestion however, so it seems you nailed that one pretty spot on! Great work!
I'll try to find a reproducible case and send over the source files to you, I know these kinda bugs sucks big time so I'll try to make sure I get as much info as I can when I find it. |

Bug report: "override" suggestion list is broken
