Hide Advanced Members

[Magiaus]

If you go into the options for VisualStudio.Net (any version) and go to Text Editor-> Basic you will see a checkbox labeled "Hide Advanced Members". It took me awhile to find and uncheck this box, before I unchecked it I was typing in things and they were getting replaced by other things... after I unchecked it I can type in what I mean and not have it replaced with what I don't mean...

So what does this tell you the folks at Microsoft really think of the VB programmer? I know what it tells me.... "Don't want those vb guys getting confused by these so called advanced members."

The first match it could find in it's intel sense cache.

Like if I typed in RegisterStartUpScript it would change it to the first Re words that it alllowed me to see because I had Hide Advanced checked.

No joke it was really starting to chesse me off to no end I would type in a method or property and I look at the key board when I type (because I am a gimp) and I would hit run and it would tell me invalid number of arguments or the like and then I would see that it had changed the method I typed into to some othewr method.... and then I would retype the method and watch it do it again... So I started copy pasting method names.. then I found the checkbox
