| This just started happening this morning with 1559. Normally, hitting dot after an item would act like you hit control-space, but no longer. I've made sure the item in the Troubleshooting is turned off, but no avail. Suggestions? |

What happens if you press CTRL-SPACE?
Are you seeing this problem for all types? Only variables of types you have created yourself? Only built in types?
Any ideas what might have triggered this problem? |

Ctrl-space pops it up. Occurs for all types and items. ex: string and then dot does nothing. string and then dot and then ctrl-space will pop up the correct list box.
This only occurs for C# and VB, and still works correctly for C++.
Other than shutting down the machine overnight as always, no, there is nothing that would "trigger" this problem. |

Very strange, off hand I have no idea what is causing this.
Do you have any other IDE plugin's installed?
Can you try:
VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases
This might fix the problem, depending on what is causing it. |

Nothing else yet, and yes, tried that multiple times.
FWIW, I can reproduce the problem on another machine which has 1557 installed. Just create a new C# windows application, goto Program.cs and try typing Application. - it will autocomplete Application, but the dot, it does nothing.
Everything else I use seems to work fine. |

Interesting. I have just tried this using VS2005 and VA 1559
I created a new C# Windows Application called "testDot"
I opened the file "Program.cs", and at the bottom of the Main() function I typed Application. not accepting any suggestions for "Application"
When I typed the dot a listbox immediately appeared.
I am wondering if this is a problem with the IDE settings. If you look at the options page:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense
how many of the options are turned on? On my system the only option that is turned Off is "Add new line on commit with enter at end of fully typed word". |

The options match the FAQ from "Troubleshooting - Why don't I see suggestion lists in C# and VS2005?". That is:
OFF - show completion list after a character is type
ON - place keywords in completion lists
ON - place code snippets in completion lists
ON - Commited by pressing the space bar
OFF - Add new line on commit
Oh and something else weird: if I disable VAX and turn Show Completion Lists back on, it will still fail.

I have just checked, and made sure that I have the same settings here.
I have just exported my VS2005 and VA settings. Can you try downloading the settings and importing them on your machine?
http://forum.wholetomato.com/colin/forumimages/thread_6555_settings.zip
I recommend you export / back up your current IDE and VA settings first so you can get back to them if you don't like my settings 
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
In theory this should fix the problem. |

Okay, that was weird - I responded last night and the post is gone.
In any case I was able to use your settings and diff them aganst mine and found out that the problem was that the Auto List Memebers checkbox in C#->General was turned off on both systems. Turning back on = working! I guess this needs to go into the FAQ.
Thanks for the help! |

I am glad this is working for you now. |

Suggestion lists in C# and VS2005 not working
