Hi,

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

When working in the Visual Studio 2008 code window, is there an easy way to get Intellisense to display a list of current 'this.' members without actually having to type 'this.'?

Seems like such an obvious thing.

Any replies would be very much appreciated.

Best wishes, Patrick

Just found it! CTRL-J does the trick, displaying everything in scope, including the members of the current class (so you don't need to type 'this.' to see them).

Solution 1

You can always have a look at the "Locals" window (once your code hits a breakpoint).

Hi. Thanks, but I was thinking of during coding, not when running the app.

Reason for my vote of 2
same thing Patrick said...clearly this was during coding...when coding, you don't just run a partial method just to get Intellisense.
