Hello to everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to ignore some project within a solution.

Since many of my classes are sharing the same name (in different projects) its get really annoying to select the right project every time.

Plus for the "go to implementation", for some of the classes that share the same name only one of the project is suggested. And the project that is suggested is the wrong one :|

Hopefully there is a way to do this, this would improve so much my productivity :)

Thanks!

As far as I know, there is no way to ignore certain projects.
However, try enabling the following option, which works best with recent Visual Studios:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense

It will hopefully improve the listboxes' content.

"go to implementation" is a Visual Studio feature, try using alt+g (or the goto icon at the top-right of the source window)

Which Visual Assist and Visual Studio versions are you using?

Well I can't really activate Intellisense since the project I am working on contains a billions of files and that's why I started yo use VAssist.

Ok. First, let me clear this goto stuff up. I am wondering whether we are facing 2 different problems.

Problem 1: Visual Assist lists member from all found classes that use the same name. This slows you down. Is this right?

Problem 2: "go to implementation" sometimes finds the wrong class in the wrong project: Do you mean the menu item in the context menu that comes up by right click?

Well the first problem is not really a problem. Since that is the expected behavior of VA. What I was hoping for is some option that would allow me to filter which projects are crawled by VA.

For the second one, when I do "go to implementation" I use ctrl+g shortcut. And sometimes some suggestions are missing from the suggestion list, offering only implementation from a single project (which is usually not the right one).

VA is designed to parse, and to know about, all of the files in your solution. Do you compile the solution from within the IDE?

One possible way forward is to have a separate "VA editing" solution which only contains the project, or projects you want to edit and VA to know about. If you could then just link to the dll outputs of the other projects, or compile via some form of command line tool, so that the compiled project was separate to the edited project.

If you run two IDE instances, one with the "VA editing" solution, and the second instance with the full solution, you could edit in one IDE and compile in the second IDE.
