No "(Overrides )" Section in the IDE anymore?

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 have to
look up the exact syntax in the class documentation. It's not rocket
science, but it is a waste of time.

Am I smoking something? Is there an option to turn this back on?

Thanks.

It's because Microsoft seems to think that people only used this section to
generate the code for overrides, which is now possible by entering
"Overrides " into the IDE's text-editor. I think this poses a huge
usability problem, especially for those who used the combobox to take a
quick look at which members can be overridded and which of them are actually
overridden.

Well, that certainly helps a ton! I don't always "read" the
intellisense and didn't notice that it was filtered to those items
that are overridable.

I do hope it returns in some VS2005 service pack because I am one of
those people who sometimes look at the list to see what's available.

Thanks so much!

Yes, I also miss that "feature". I thought that it was a bug and not "by
design".

I used the list for four purposes:

(1) See which members are overridable.
(2) See which members are overridden in the class.
(3) Navigate to a certain override.
(4) Create source code for an override.

The current solution only serves purpose (4).

Hi, Maybe someone can explain the use of "Me" to me? The example class CPoint3 uses the Me reference in the output statement: Console.WriteLine("CPoint3 constructor: {0}", Me) The text states: "This implicitely invokes the class's ToString method". This would be clear if Me.ToString was used, which I tested and works too!. Actually, Me.Anything works and gives the same results as long as Anything is a class member.
