Intellisense problem...

[thatsasif]

Hi i am having problem with the intellisense.


In the above image i have created a boolean variable and when i try to assign value why does is shows all the members instead of false and true.



Again when i try to set the height the intellisense pops up again.

I don't know why, but I can tell you that nothing is wrong. Intellisense doesn't quite work that way.

I don't remember the exact menu but it's like Tools~~>Import and Export Settings...
Select Reset all settings.

Check now...

If it is still not working then check this link out...

That's how Intellisense does and always has worked. They don't limit you to just True and False because you might have some other variable you want top use or some long expression involving several method calls and property accesses. The same goes for the Height: you might want to use some expression that could involve anything at all.

yes this is believed to be true, however i just did a test on my computer and got this



which is interesting, of course if i press "CTRL+Space" at this point, the full intellisense will appear

If I'm not mistaken, you are using VS 2010. Booleans now behave like enumerations in that regard, but in previous versions they didn't. Intellisense has been improved in various ways in VS 2010.

Is there any way to make the intellisense behave like VS 2005.

Hmmm... interesting. It's been some time since I used VS 2005 and I either didn't know or had forgotten that it did behave that way. In answer to your question, I would think so but I don't know exactly how. That said, does it really matter? It's only going to save you one key press half of the time anyway. In VS 2005 you can accept the value False by hitting the Tab key or True by pressing T and Tab. In VS 2008 you can accept True the same way and False by pressing F and Tab. How many key strokes will that save you in the long run? A rather insignificant number I think. It also means that you'll require an extra key stroke if you want to use Intellisense for anything but literal values, so that would probably even things out. Maybe that's why they made the change, or maybe it just comes down to IDE settings.
