What's happened to VS 2022? The completion is only half there.

Question

Today while working on a new project, I've discovered that the suggested completion (I forget the name of the feature) in VS 2022 of a command is only half there. I have never seen it behave this before. For example, if I type (in C#):

if

then hit the tab key twice it would normally put in:

if (value == true)
{

}

but no more. Now all it does is:

if (value == true) {

with no closing bracket!!! The same thing with happen with

using

Link statements, etc. Why isn't it giving the complete suggestion anymore? I'd rather it be on multiple lines, because that's how I've coded for years, but even if you put it all on one line, PLEASE put in the whole suggested completion!!!!!!!

I'm using VS 2022 Enterprise Edition, version 17.10.4

Answer 1

Hello @Falanga, Rod, DOH,

Please uncheck following two options:

Tools => Options => Text Editor => C# => IntelliSense => Tab twice to insert arguments (experimental) and Show new snippet experience (experimental).

They are experimental features, may be selected in the new(latest) version of VS 2022 automatically.

Feel free to let us know if you have any further concerns:)

Sincerely,

Tianyu
