Another feature I use allot is hitting ctrl+f2 when in a text editor. A list of all objects on a form comes up. You can highlight one of them and tab to a list of all events available for that control. Click one and the Code Stub is dropped into the Code for that Form ready for you to flesh out. This eliminates the need to figure out the exact syntax for every event, the exact parameter argument names and types and make sure that you don't spell something incorrectly. This is just a nice little feature that saves allot of time in place of typing in a Subroutine with exact parameters, usually looking them up someplace.

Actually, it is word completion, it also lists any properties or methods for any object you want to check out. For example, if you want to put some literal text into a TextBox control and you don't know the property to assign the literal to you could type: MyTextBox. Then you hit ctrl+j and a list of properties and methods related to a TextBox comes up. One of them is the Text Property and if you click it the code will then read:MyTextBox.Textand you can assign your literal likeMyTextBox.Text = "Something you want to be displayed on the form in the text box" There might be a method called Clear that you find cursoring up and down the list of things releated to a textbox, click it and it would be: MyTextBox.Clear Note I don't know if clear is a real method of a TextBox but you might get the idea on how Intellisense can make finding what you want to do easier.Rick USA----- Original Message ----- From: "Øyvind Lode" <oyvind.lode@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2010 2:29 PM Subject: RE: New programmer What's Intellesense?

There are issues with the intellisense feature, but worked around the problem. The Express editions of Visual Studio uses language-independent IDEs, whereas Professional and higher use one IDE for all languages. Hope this helps.
