Hello,

how can I install Visual Assist for Visua Studio .NET, but not for Visual Studio 2005?

Regards,
Roman.

The short answer is that you cannot, but you can tell VA not to load in VS2005, as explained in this FAQ:

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W306

Out of interest is there some reason why you do not want VA in VS2005?

It would be nice if you can add

[x] Register VAX for Visual C++ 6.0
[x] Register VAX for Visual Studio .NET 2002
[x] Register VAX for Visual Studio .NET 2003
[x] Register VAX for Visual Studio 2005
[x] Register VAX for Visual Studio 2008

to the setup dialog. I'm using VAX in VS 2005/2008 and VA 6 in VC 6.0 and every time after an VAX update I have to re-register VASSIST.DLL from VA 6 manually.

Windows 11 x64, VS 2022, VaX 10.9.2530

I'm afraid to ask, but I keep getting drawn back to this - like passing a car accident... why are you using VA 6, SvenR?

I got used to it, especially to the black inverse tooltips with best guesses:



All later versions show a listbox with one or more items:



I like the VA6 implementation much better than the newer implementation because I don't have to concentrate on different strings. With VA6 I simply press <Tab> if the guess is right, with VAX I have to read all strings and select the right one.

I would vote for a switch in VAX to emulate the VA6 implementation, if I could.

I see, a case of too many choices being a distraction.
Have you tried any of the 16xx builds?

Yes, since September I'm using VS 2008 most of the time. But I still have the feeling, that I can write code with VA6 much faster than with VAX.

Do you see a chance for getting this back in VAX (of course only optionally)? From my point of view VAX only has to show the string that is currently highlighted in the listbox (best guess) as an inverse tooltip. When the best guess is changing (VAX selects a different string in listbox), the tooltip is updated.

See, I use two programming languages C++ and C# and I'd like to use VS .NET for C++ programming and VS 2005 for C# programming. For C# I use ReSharper. I do like Visual Assist, but ReSharper took a big advantage of reflection. On the other hand it's dead when it comes to C++. So I dont want to mix them (ReSharper and Visual Assist) in one IDE.

Regads,
Roman.

Roman you can tell VA to ignore C# code by simply adding ".cs" to:

VA Options -> Projects -> Extensions -> Extensions to ignore
