something I noticed in vs.net options...

(This isn't really a question ;) )
I THINK this has to do with intellisense. A while ago I noticed that some of the stuff that showed up in intellisense under C# didn't show up in VB.NET's intellisense (few rare ocasions, I don't even remember what the methods were)...
I was looking through the IDE options and I saw this option, so I'm assuming that this was the reason:
-in the "text editor" tab, then in "basic", "hide advanced members" is checked by default while this isnt checked in C#....
If this is for something else please let me know, but I think it's for the same intellisense stuff that I'm talking about:D

Ok that seems to make sense.. Mine was checked by default too, and looking at the C# tab I noticed it was unchecked. Plus, autolist definitely sounds like IntelliSense.. so I'm thinking you're right on this one.

What kind of options should I expect to see or do you have no idea?

Good score there...

I was using VB to write asp.net applications, and always wondered why some functions (like Page.RegisterStartupScript) never showed up in the drop-downs.. so I always had to remember them in my head... and that never worked real well :)

thanks

I noticed theres a method called ReferenceEquals which determines if two objects are the same... but I wonder how that differs from Object.Equals ???

The docs states Advanced members are for infrastructre only... but obviously this isn't the case.

Auto list members
When selected, a list of available members of a given object or class displays at the appropriate places when you enter a line of code. See List Members for more information.
Hide advanced members
When selected, certain members internally marked as "advanced" are hidden from view in the statement completion list. Advanced members are those that exist only for infrastructure purposes, but must be available to view. This option allows you to filter them from view if you do not need to see them.
Parameter information
When selected, parameter information displays for the function or procedure, if any is available. See Parameter Info for more information.

Enable virtual space
When selected, allows you to move the cursor beyond the physical end of a line of text into character spaces that do not exist. If you move your cursor into this area and begin typing, the void between your current position and the end of the last word is automatically filled with space characters. When this setting is not selected, you cannot move the cursor beyond the last character in a line.
Word wrap
When selected, lines that extend horizontally beyond the visible range of the Editor are automatically wrapped to the next line.

hmm interesting.. .thanks for the descriptions too cuz I dont have the vs.net help installed:D

So what do they mean when they say it's for infrastructure only?

Anyways, one thing that I alway missed was Color.op_Equality() function. That's the only possible way I know to check whether two colors are equal or not (well besides comparing the RGBA values of the two colors individually:D )... now is that for infrastructure purpose only? It seems rather to be something necessary (someone tell me why this is like this. Calling Color.op_Equality() in C# raises this error: 'System.Drawing.Color.operator ==(System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing.Color)': cannot explicitly call operator or accessor
I've never overloaded operators but I assume it has to do with that)
