Whidbey Intellisense Feature

  • Статья

Just stumbled upon one of those little features that are so nice and once you get used to it, it's hard giving it up.

When attempting to assign a value to an enum property, as soon as you type “ = “, it brings up the intellisense window to the specific enum type. No hunting around or trying to remember the name of the enum. Pretty cool, especially when working with Managed DirectX, which has quite a few different flags, etc.

    That is a nice feature... as a VB.NET programmer though, I was really puzzled why you were calling it a Whidbey feature (since I believe that has been in VB.NET since the first release)... but then I realized that it was new to C# :)

    In a few years, the programmer only needs to write "int main(){" and Visual Studio will fill in the rest... :-)

    Whidbey even has that covered. :) Type svm or sim followed by a "Tab"...

    talking to myself

    Hm... I don't see any key with the label "Tab"... Does he mean that we should write the word "Tab"? But why is those "" things there? Yeah! Got it! He misspelled it! He meant "Bat"!

    We have to write the word svm, put our sim-card into the floppydisk-driver followed by a Bat!

    Mitch is a great wizard. :)

    Mitch: That feature was added by Jaybaz after hearing over and over again by people that this was a great feature they loved in VB.
