Why doesn't the ctrl-I show the member window as in Visual Basic?

Hi everybody,

I am a Newbie in C#. My problem is that when I am writing code for an object
in Visual Studio .NET, I cant get the members popup window after the dot
(i.e. "object._") as in Visual Basic. I have to write the whole path from
System (i.e. System.Data.SqlClient) even if I have added previouly in the
header "using System.Data.SqlClient;". And I cannot invoke the window with
ctrl-i as in VB either.

¿Can anyone help me with that? ¿is it a matter of configuration?

Thank you very much
Rita

You can use ctrl+space for that, if I understand you question right

Rita,
If your previous line or your current line has an error, you'll not be able
to use IntelliSense, even if you included the "using..." header.
For a complete list of when IntelliSense is unavailable, see the msdn link

Thanks Ron and Lebesgue,

Now I found a lot of information about intellisense feature, configuration
and shortcuts, but still have a little curious matter: In the same line of
code (there is no errors above) I write:
- DateTime. and I get the ListMember OK
- SqlClient. and I dont get the ListMember OK (having on the header
"System.Data.SqlClient"), I have to highlight the word "SqlClient." and then
push ctrl-j.

If someone has an answer I would appreciate it, but anyways, my problem is
solved now that I can see the ListMembers

Regards
Rita
