I have some projects in C++/CLI. I have upgraded them to VS2010. Microsoft doesn't provide intellisense for C++/CLI in VS2010 so I am evaluating visual assist X now. I am using v10.6.1829.0. It provides good intellisense for my own classes but the intellisense for the standard .NET libraries is very poor.
The following screenshot shows the intellisense provided by VS2008. It gives me the types and names of the parameters. It gives a general description of what the function does and it gives a comment about the current parameter.
The next screenshot shows the intellisense for the same function provided by Visual Assist in VS2010. It only gives me the type of the parameters. I am missing the parameter names and the extra documentation.
Is there some option I can enable to get better intellisense for the .NET libraries? I think this is a major step backwards compared to VS2008.
I am seeing the same problem here, apologies for this:
case=1224
In VS2008 you are seeing IDE tooltips, and the IDE seems to have more knowledge about the function calls. Hopefully VA can somehow locate this missing information and add it to the tooltips.
Do you know if this case 1224 has high priority? I think Whole Tomato has a big opportunity now to sell Visual Assist to all us neglected C++/CLI developers. If they can provide the level of intellisense from VS2008 for the .NET libraries then they are a must-have extension for VS2010.
Poor intellisense for .NET libraries in C++/CLI
