Does anyone know how why the Intellisense in visual Studio.NET stops working. For example, Is I type Dim x as String --> "Dim", "as", and "string" should be blue...also the "dot" operators are not working. Not sure if this is what it is called correctly, but when you type something and the .[list-of-options appear] does work.

Any help appreicated.
Thanks...

Hey,

I've had the intellisense fail on the dot operator. Coloring the keywords isn't an intellisense problem; that would be an editor problem because in the options you can adjust the color as needed.

You can manually invoke intellisense with Ctrl+J. In addition, look in the options, as intellisense is an option. Maybe somehow it got turned off.

Thanks again Brian,

But where is it to under the options..

Also do you know anything about installing the VS.NET, meaning is there a order to how to install IIS, .NET framework, and VS.NET..

Thanks,

Hey,

VS.NET prerequisites disc must be installed first, which has the .NET framework, (I believe DirectX too), so you don't need to prepare for the VS.NET download. It takes a while, but is well worth it.

Tools > Options

Then in the new window:

Text Editor > All Languages > General

Make sure the checkboxes under Statement Completion are checked.

Thanks Brian.
