Ok, so I'm a C # developer at heart, but have been working in VB for some time now. I never thought about it until today, but I loved Snippets in Visual Studio, and now I never use them or only sparingly for things like WPF properties. I notice that they do not appear to me. They work, but they don’t give me hints. Is it design or an option that I can set to view them?
EG in a simple console application I can type 'arrSort' and then press enter, and I get:
Dim animals() As String = {"lion", "turtle", "ostrich"}
Array.Sort(animals)
Cool what I want is not a problem. But I have not seen Intellisense for this, and in C Sharp it immediately appears next. I know that you can go (CTRL + K, X) to get the fragment menu, but then switch to another menu in another menu, this is tedious and affects the whole moment of saving time only by “123” (Tab or Enter) and get Automatically filling out sentences about what I'm going to do in the menu with a little freeze.
From my little experience with VB, it seems that some of its Intellisense do shine for the core features of the language, but Intellisense for Snippets really misses it. Is there an opportunity that I can enable? Or did I step back from the need to memorize them, or do I have a menu navigation? Since I can work in the file access area for a while, then have quick snippets for things with Stream Readers and Stream Writers, and then come back in a few months and forget them, but autocompletion can help.
