Intellisense in ReSharper 3.0 Only Works After the First Letter

Friday, June 22, 2007 11:37 AM
This morning I upgraded to ReSharper 3.0.  Since I didn't participate in any of the EAP programs I was unsure as to what to expect but so far I'm digging it.

I'm really missing my MbUnit add-in though Jet Brains has assured me that they're aware and working on the problem.

Anyway, I noticed something else after upgrading.  My intellisense seemed less 'intelligent'.  It could still offer options for member names off of different objects for me, but only after I prompted it with the first letter.  For example, instances of StreamWriter offered no help after the dot unless I added a 'w' for Write and WriteLine.  Instance of IEnumerator were mum until enumerator.M... yielded a MoveNext().  Although this was fine if you had some idea of what you were looking for, since I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of the framework this wasn't going to cut it for me.

I was just about to file a bug report when I decided to take a quick trip through the options and, sure enough, there it was.  By default, ReSharper 3.0 only offers completion after a matching letter or digit.  If you want completion after the dot, you simply must enable it.



Hopefully this will save someone else a little frustration as well.
