How to view parameter names of the called method

VS2019

How can I turn on such a thing when the parameter names of the called method are displayed?

I use VS2019. May be it is built-in or some extension needed?

What I have tried:

I suggest Resharper can do it, but may be some other ways exists?

When I code by myself, I do something like:

C#

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(hours:0, minutes:10, seconds:0)

.
So, in my code it is easy to view what this values for.
But when I read other codes it is not so easy :)

Just use intellisense: if you don't have it enabled by default, just type the first bit:

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(

And use CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE to bring it up. It'll show you each of the possible parameter sets you can call it with (5 in this case) with their names - but you only need the names if you must use name:value syntax to provide them "out of order".

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(hours:0, minutes:10, seconds:0)

is the same as saying

TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(0, 10, 0)

as the parameters are supplied in the order shown by intellisense: hours first, then minutes, then seconds.

Thanks, but I asked about how to see such names in code that already exists.

If you don't have ReSharper, you'll need at least VS2019 v16.8 or later:

Showing inline parameter hints on Visual Studio 2019 like ReSharper[^]:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# or Basic > Advanced
Select Display inline parameter name hints (experimental).
