MonoDevelop Style Code Hinting In Visual Studio

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

Is it possible to get MonoDevelop-style code hinting in Visual Studio’s IDE? Specifically, not having to type out variables perfectly letter-by-letter, but just typing some key letters in them.

For example, in MonoDevelop typing “v3” would automatically highlight “Vector3”, then hitting enter puts in Vector3. In VS, typing “v3” closes the code hinting, because no word starts exactly with “v3”.

Very inhibiting, especially when you’re doing lots of longer variable names (“SouthDoorTrigger1,2,3” for example. I reeeally don’t want to truncate to “SDT1” or something, that’s a confusing mess.)

Any help? Thanks!

If still syntax high lighting is not happening, then you can install C# tool manually. Press F1, and open command window. type this command.
“ext install” and choose ‘Extensions: Install extensions’

and then search for “ext install C#” and install all the tools indicates for C# language.
‘Install C# tool says - C# support for Code (powered by omnisharp) - microsoft.’
You install any package by pressing the small cloud icon at last in a row.
