Visual Studio 2005 intellisense and Visual Basic 2005

Chuck

I am new to programming and Visual Studio so please bare with me. I am using visual studio 2005 intellisense for VB.net...for example when I am doing Console.WriteLi ne() and it is autocompleting WriteLine i have to hit enter to select it from the list to autocomplete for me..the problem is it goes to the next line without allowing me to put anything in the WriteLine() method..is there a way to modify the intellisense options? Right now when I hit the tab button it autocompletes it and keeps it on the same line for me but hitting the tab button is annoying. I prefer return/enter. Can anyone provide an explanation as to how I can modify this? Thanks.

When I type Console.Writeli ne, as soon as intellisense is on
WriteLine, I press the open parenthesis ( and that completes it for me.
I have to press that anyway to add the string I want written so it is
natural for me. You can also use the space bar.

I don't think there is a way to change the behavior of the enter key.
Try out some of the other keys to see what is convenient for you.

Create DLL in Visual Studio 2005 accessible by Excel 2002

by: Steve | last post by:

I am trying to create a DLL in Visual Studio 2005-Visual Basic that contains custom functions. I believe I need to use COM interop to allow VBA code in Excel 2002 to access it. I've studied everything I can find on COM Interop and .NET. I've also tried many of the 'Walkthroughs' on the MSDN site relating to COM add-ins, .NET and Office XP but am unable to get even these working in Excel 2002 or Word 2002.

Why no patch for the anoying Visual Basic compiler problem

by: sqlguy | last post by:

Why do we have to contact MS for a problem that has been with this compiler from at least the beta of VS 20005. I am so sick and tired of the 30 - 40 clicks it takes to dismiss VS when there is a problem. Can they not just post the fix. I see no reason to contact MS since I have most likely sent about 1500 dumps to them and I would think this would get their attention.

Visual Studio 2005 Standard Hangs with 50% CPU time.

by: Edwin Smith | last post by:

I have a 2 form project in VS2005 that now hangs whenever I try to do anything with the second form. This seems to have started when I added some SQL tables from a Pervasive v.9 database using the Pervasive ODBC driver.
