I have a basic question about something as simple as Intelisence.

When making variables in VB.NET I do
Dim a as <<<----- and right here pops up intelesence of my type
options, so that helps me decide what I may want, Double, Single,
Int32, Integer etc.

Well with C# I put in
a <<<---- and of course nothing pops up, because it does not know what
I am gonna do next, so I never get the option to pick double, float,
short, int etc.

I tried:

"a this." , hoping to see double, float, short, int etc. well of
course I don't, all I get is members of my class.

Just wanted to know if there is an easy way to get all possible types
of data types from Intelisence.

It is a matter of convince and not necessity, just thought it was a
nice to have in VB.NET and someone else may have found a way to get
the types.

Thanks, Ed,
 
Ed,

Have you tried hitting Ctrl+Space at the beginning of a line?
Intellisense should pop up then with the type definitions.

Hope this helps.

Int32, Integer etc.

Well with C# I put in
long a <<<---- when I start typing of course nothing pops up, because
it does not know what I am gonna do, so I never get the option to pick
double, float, short, int etc. (or better yet classes that I have
access to that may have an odd spelling)

I tried:

"this." , hoping to see double, float, short, int etc. well of course
I don't, all I get is members of my current class.

Hi Ed -

You could try:

long a = new <<<---- window pops up

Nicholas, yes, but it still does not bring up double, float, short, int etc.

It does however bring up the Int32 etc.
