Overrides and intellisense

Hi,

I'm slowly moving from VB.Net to C#.

When using VB.Net in Visual Studio (for Windows and Web Forms) the code
window identifies a set of '(Overrides)'. I am unable to locate and such
IDE/Intellisense help for this in C#. Is it there?

Thanks,

Simon

I am not entirely sure what you mean, could you elaborate a little?
Unfortunatly I have little experiance with the VB IDE.

If you simply want override intellisense, typing override will bring up a
list of overridable members.

When in the VS code window for VB.Net the top left combo has an
'(Overrides)' entry which, when selected, populates the top right combo with
a list of overridable members. Selecting one of these populates code window
with 'stub' override and correct parameters. Fill in the body from here...

From your answer below I tried typing override in a c# code window (ASP and
Windows) and intellisense was not limited to a list of overridable members.
In fact, such members were not even present in the list.

Can you help further? Thanks.

It should be limited, which version of VS are you using?
The intellisense doesn't include overridable members that already *have*
been overridden, however.

Anyway, I don't think there is anything like that directly in the code
window. You can use the override intellisense or perhaps the class viewer, I
believe.
Nov 16 '05 #4
Thanks.

Using the Class Viewer works for me. Right click the relevant member and
choose Add from the context menu.

My version of 'Microsoft Development Environment' is 7.0.9466. Obtained in
VS-->Help-->About.

This is far more involved than the VB code window integration with IDE,
especially when C# events are obtained using the 'Lightrning' icon on the
proerties window. In the VB code window all ovverrides and base class events
are accessed using the top left/right combo boxes. Just out of interest, do
you know why the easier VB approach was not adopted for C#?

Thanks again for the pointers.

Ahh, I see, VS2002 then?

I was testing on 2003, which might explain why override intellisense works
for me. I don't recall waht 2002 was like, except that it was pretty bad all
in all.

Off hand I can't say, except that the dev team simply didn't chose to put
time into that feature. I don't personally consider the dropdown boxes to be
easy. I like to have everything available from the keyboard(atleas t within
one file, navigating with the keyboard can be a pain).

There are a few things, like events, that simply won't work in C# the way
they do in VB. There is no handles clause, so the IDE can't simply determine
which methods handle which events as easily as VB can with
WithEvents+Hand les. It is probably possible, but to this point not something
that is worth the effort.
Thanks again for the pointers.

Yesterday I typed in some C++ code that called a function with two ints. Intellisense (auto-complete) helpfully told me that the first formal parameter was called "frontLight" and the second "ringLight". It occurred to me that I'm getting some semantic help here on top of the obvious type safety. It seems to me that the existance of this kind of support is tied to the static typing nature of C++. I've always been interested in the...

I'm working on a solution containing about 20 projects. Some of the projects contain class definitions that are used in other of the projects. Most of the time intellisense is working ok, i.e. if I work with objects declared from my own classes intellisense will show me all alternatives (methods and properties from my classes and from the classes they are derived from). But sometimes I will get nothing from intellisense, completely nothing,...

I need something likes as when I create an event procedure. I can use top-left and top-right dropdown list of code editor to select object and its exposed events respectively. Then, the IDE, automatically paste the function header (signature) for me. But I can't find a way to see list of Sub or Function that I can overrides such as ToString Function.

Just some thoughts: 1. Overridable subs overridden in a base class should not be hidden from selection so you have to guess what's there and type out the whole signature manually (this really bugs me). 2. Mousing over a method's name where it is overridden should show intellisense so messages like "be sure to call the base method when overriding..." are readily available.

Why is it that there doesn't appear to be an easy way to select what overridable method you want to override from the IDE as you could in VS2003? Used to, you could select (Overrides) for your class from the dropdown at the top of the IDE, on the left, and then pick from a list of overrides on the right. I've not done much in VS2005 yet, but every time I need to override a method, I go to my dropdown lists and they're not there, so I...
