How does it work? Why does it work this way?

That's where I can argue.. the sizing of it is great, the tooltips are great... but whenever I need to reference existing code as I'm using Intellisense, it ALWAYS displays directly over what I need to see. Pain in the rear. But aside from that ever so slight drawback (mild sarcasm included...), Intellisense is a good size for me. I don't mind scrolling... in my opinion, it's better than having half the screen covered by methods and parameters.

I feel the same way, but it must be tough to satisfy both needs.

- Are you curious how a particular VB '05 or '08 feature works?
- Are you curious why a particular design decision was made?
- Do you have feedback about the behavior or decision?

When 2005 first came out, the default Timer was switched to the System.Windows.Forms.Timer, which has a Tick event.
You now have to choose the toolbox items, and add the System.Timers, to get an Elapsed event like in 2003.
I thought that this might be a mistake, but I'm giving it the benifit of doubt.

Was there a reason for this particular desicion?


While on the subject of ToolBoxes, and their ambiguous icons.
Once again I've experienced the toolbox bug of 2005 where the icons go blank.
This is annoying and makes it hard to quickly located the control i want.
I just unistalled the .NET 2.0 framework, and then reinstalled it.
Now my toolbox shows the correct picture icons.


Is there an easier fix for version 2005?
Does version 2008 fix this bug for good?
