Greetings all
I have just installed VS 2005 on a laptop.
I created a test Windows application (Textboxes, buttons, etc). When I go to code behind and start typling a control name (eg txt.....) I expected to see the list of matching posisbilities and to be ablke to scroll down and select my chosen control. No go!
Is there anythign that I need to set??
In advance, thanks!!!

from your Visual studio IDE click on tools->option menu
in options dialog, Select Text Editor->All Languages->General.
on the right side you will get options in statement completion,
check all the options and do the same in Basic->General options too. click ok now you should get the statement completion options
Nothing should have to be done to get Intellisense to work though, right appari? When you load Visual Studio 2005 first time, as far as I know, Intellisense is available right then and there. When I was still using VS2005, it never completed any of the controls I had on the form itsself, just showed all it's properties and methods after I pressed the dot.
If you are working on ASP.Net and if your intellisense is not working on .cs files,
then first close the .cs file, go to .aspx page, open the page, then go to the solution explorer and right click on the .aspx page and select "View Code".
Type the control u wish to and you will see the intellisense having the control.
Intillisense will only work when the control/element is properly tagged and there are no errors in .aspx page

In VS2005 your intellisense is limited to the control you are doing something for, let's say you have a control called txtFirstName on your form right..then in codebehind, type txtFirstName. Right after the dot is where Intellisense kicks in, not before that. In VS2008 on the other hand, it will recognize the controls you have and give you suggestions based on that and all variables you have defined.
