For example, if I type "IBaseItem item = listView1.SelectedItems[0] as" and a space, a toolbox will show...well, try that yourself and you will find out the toolbox is useless. I think, in most cases, make the "IBaseItem" selected is fine, and all I need to do is press the enter key.

Err.. Sorry about my poor English. If you can't get the idea of what I'm saying, I can add some pictures...

Is the type "IBaseItem" a known type on your system? I have tried this line here, and this i what I am seeing when I use a known type "String", the listbox works correctly:



and using your line, where "IBaseItem" is an unknown type, which is not in the listbox:

Of course IBaseItem is a known type, otherwise I won't ask...
I just tried some system type like string and it still doesn't work. I'm using VA1723 on VS2005SP1, XP SP3

What happens if you disable VA, via the menu item:

VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X

I would expect the IDE to select the right item, by default, in this situation. Yet in my tests with VA disabled often the very first item in the listbox is being selected, even when using "String" as the type.

I am not sure why this seems to work some of the time and fail some of the time.

It's didn't work after disable VA, the first item (in my case, "#if") always get selected no matter what type I use.

At least we are not breaking an existing IDE feature, that is a bit of good news.

I have put in a feature request for this:

case=28314

For now you may find turning on:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> IntelliSense -> IntelliSense pre-selects most recently used members

helps a bit with this. It is certainly not a complete fix, but if you are often using the same type then it should help a bit.
