auto complete code

Jak
Hi, all,

I am wondering if there are any addons for VB.NET 2005 to complete the codes
automatically after I entered two or three characters, just like Delphi
does.

Thanks,

Try ctrl-space and see if that does what you need.

Jak,
Not sure what Delphi is doing.

Do Code Snippets do what you want?

I also don't know what Delphi does, but I did see this advertisement
for something called Visual Assist that might do what you're looking
for. It has a free thirty-day trial too.

Hi, Jay,

Sorry, would you mind telling me more about Code Snippets you mentioned?

In Delphi IDE, after you type two or three characters, there is a dropdown
list pop up, so you can select one from the list to complete the rest of
your code. For instance, if you type 'se', then there are 'self', 'sender',
'select' and some other items begin with 'se' in the list.

Jak,

Code snippets are bits of code that are stored on the hard drive that you
can copy and paste into your program. Not sure myself if they are searchable
as you describe of Delphi, but you can store an entire function, class or
type as a snippet. If I am incorrect, I'm sure others will be more than
happy to correct me. :)

Also, in VB2005, if you type in the name of an object and it has members
that can be accessed, as soon as you type a period after the object name, it
will display the available members that you can select from.

Hope this helps,

Bruce

For instance, if you type 'se', then there are 'self', 'sender',
'select' and some other items begin with 'se' in the list.
This sounds like how intellisense behaves in the C# IDE (it pops up as
soon as you start typing - not when you type a period). To simulate
this behavior in Visual basic just type in 'se' and then press Ctrl+J -
this will bring up the intellisense menu.

Thanks,
