Lets say I have a variable like this :
Now when I rename the variable using the shortcut or menus and press enter, it becomes like this:
The "Show potential fixes" is not due to "Local constant 'renamed' never being used). It asks me to rename the variable again. Why?
I need to click on the "Show potential fixes and choose 'rename variable to renamed'" again. It's very annoying. Is there anyway to fix this?
I just want to use the resharper shortcut and be done with it.
The problem is that in this case for some reason Visual Studio is late to update its code model following the totally legitimate rename operation made by ReSharper.
However, if you ignore Visual Studio's prompt for the second bogus rename and proceed with editing code, Visual Studio will finally understand that a rename has actually occurred and stop asking you to perform it again.
All in all, this is indeed an annoyance but there's an easy workaround: just proceed with editing your code.
We at JetBrains are looking into the problem to see if we can fix it nicely but it's not clear so far if we are able to.

So I didn't use to have this issue as much in older versions, and it even then it was easy to get used to, but i got VS 2019 recently and now when I write code it'll randomly autocomplete half way in and add shit I didn't write WHILE IM STILL WRITING. I don't press enter, I don't click on anything, it'll just add what it thinks I want without any confirmation.
I tried searching how to disable this, but I only ever find how to turn off intellisense recommendations altogether (Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > IntelliSense). I don't want to disable the completion list from showing up, I WANT intellisense, I just want it to let me code without inserting new code on it's own. Just show me recommendations, don't automatically add them in for me without any input from me.
Edit -> Intellisense -> Switch Between Automatic and Tab-Only IntelliSense Completion
Had the same problem, this worked for me.
I think you want to disable the IntelliCode. you can do it by
Choose Extensions > Manage Extensions, find and select the IntelliCode
extension, and then click Disable
I was running into this same issue with Visual Studio Community using C# and Resharper on a fresh installation.
This seems to occur on writing invalid syntax, Visual Studio replaces whatever is written with it's closest valid guess when the user presses space. Specifically I was typing in a variable without declaring a type first.
output // gets overwritten automatically with XmlOutputMethod
var output // does not get overwritten automatically
Unfortunately, I do not know how to disable this feature in Visual Studio. Hopefully this information is of some use.
I've recorded a short video of my text being overwritten by Visual Studio, which can be found here
I tried following this path the message suggests but there but wasn't able to find "Location" after moving to "Settings". Where is this checkbox?
While it is possible to do that, you should think about whether you want this. Having the wrong PDBs or having the wrong source code may lead you into wrong conclusions about what you're debugging.
You should only activate this if you know about the consequences, and the consequences are:
you cannot really trust what you see
you may make wrong conclusions
you may change source code which is not affected by your bug
if you change code, you may introduce new bugs instead of fixing the bug
With that warning spoken:
In Visual Studio 2019:
Right click the breakpoint
Click on Conditions... or Actions... (It seems that Settings... is no longer available)
Click on the link and change the checkbox
I am working with the new asp.net core 1.0 framework on Visual Studio Code.
My question is, how do I traverse through all the overloads a method might have?
When at that stage you can just press ( and it will prompt you for the overloads.
Take this example:
I press ( and I get:
If I happen to change focus, I can go back into the call at this.M1( and press Ctrl+Shift+Space (or ⌘+Shift+Space on macOS) to get the overload prompt again:
Pretty much the same as Visual Studio.
This is in VS Code 1.7.1, C# 1.4.1 extension.
I can't comment on the accepted answer but in case anyone has the problem Dawson B mentioned, where you can't navigate the little window of overloads with the vim extension enabled, I found a solution. It was difficult to figure out what that window is called as it's not easy to google, but it is apparently a ParameterHint.
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts with Ctrl+K Ctrl+S, search for "hint", click the pencil to the left of showNextParameterHint, change to Alt+N, and showPrevParameterHint to Alt+P, to not interfere with the Ctrl+N/P binding to Intellisense suggestion navigation. Of course if these conflict with some other extension/custom binding you have, pick whatever works best.
OK, this is a silly question, but when using Visual Studio, if I am writing XML doc comments in Visual Basic, I can use the tab key to switch between fields (e.g. Summary to Param to Returns). In C#, however, hitting the Tab key inserts a Tab, so I have to click on the individual fields to navigate to them (or use the arrow keys). This makes what should have been a simple process tedious and time-consuming.
Anybody know if there is a default keyboard shortcut I can use, or if there is a specific command I can map to an unused keyboard shortcut? I am using Visual Studio 2010, with ReSharper 6.1. Did some searching in the SO archives, but either nobody else has this problem, or I don't know the right keywords to ask (the latter is much more likely). Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I should clarify, a bit. The tabbing behavior in VB is native to Visual Studio 2010; the ReSharper install is fairly recent (after I switched to C#), and I wanted to mention it in case someone might know whether ReSharper had added their own navigation shortcuts (as they have tons) for this. Thanks again!
Resharper does have the possibility for structural navigation. Normally you can use the Tab or Shift+Tab Shortcut to the next or previous code element.
If your cursor is in a code element (i.e. not in the whitespace region before a code line) the Tab Key shouldn't insert a tab but navigate to the next section.
Configuration of the structural navigation can be done in Environment|Editor|Editor Behaviour.
If it's still not working as described I'd try to reset the settings (especially those for Resharper) and check wether Resharper is installed properly.
I might be misunderstanding the question, but maybe it sounds like you can just reset your user settings? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247075%28v=vs.100%29.aspx ? Or just run a devenv / resetuserdata . Do that, and when you start up visual studio, maybe choose the 'general' settings rather than the C# or vb.net specific ones?
I want to completely remove "error list" from visual studio 2008, not disable it i want it gone. It annoys me to no end popping up endlessly, i guess i must be "doing it wrong" but w/e i just want to use VS without being alerted every other keystroke about some warning.
I've tried editing many different fields in the options (tools -> options) it has only slightly decreased the frequency of the error list popping up. I have also deselected errors, warnings, and Messages. and it pops up with nothing to display. unpinning it doesn't help either.
also upgrading to VS 2010 is not an option at this point.
Im looking for a solution something like the following: remove a dll or config file responsible for this
Also I still want the inline validation (the little squiggly marks, etc), but
the error list window annoys me.
I think this is probably exactly what you're wanting:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2010/05/16/hide-or-show-error-list-when-the-build-finishes-with-errors-vstiptool0022.aspx
You can change this behavior by going to Tools -> Options -> Projects
and Solutions -> General and deselecting the "Always show Error List
if build finishes with errors".
I'm guessing this will work with ASP.Net as well, since that's building on the fly.
I am using Visual Studio 2017, and I also have to cope with the useless, impossible-to-disable, annoyingly-in-your-face, and outright disturbing "Error List" window.
So, here is what I did:
Undock the "Error List" window to make it free-floating.
Resize it to the smallest size possible.
Move it out to some remote area of the screen where it is not so annoying.
And voila, problem solved ! (*1)
*1 Well, problem mostly solved. It will be completely solved when I abandon this dinosaur of an IDE.
My 'Error List' was constantly displaying also (VS2012). I also hate it.
I turned it off years ago, but today it just started appearing.
It was being caused a unreadable packages.config file. For some reason that reports it's fail state through the yukky 'Error List'.
Fixing the packages.config file stopped the 'Error List' from appearing.
for VS2017, select the "Build only" value from the drop down list in Error tab. Refer to the image below:
Hope this helps!
On Error tab, you have Errors / Warnings / Info buttons. Click on Errors button (de-press).
hope it helps.
I suggest turning off inline validation.
Yes, I know that you still want it. But, seriously, how important is it? It's trying to validate code that is half-written. How valuable can that be?
First of all, as-you're-typing code validation is distracting. It makes it harder to focus on the problem you are trying to solve. For example, writing a function with a non-void return will display the "not all code paths return a value" error continually until you get to the end of the function. In the meantime, the editor is telling you that there is a problem. I am sure that people learn to ignore these things over time (I have never kept the feature on for more than a few minutes after a new VS installation, so I don't know), but if you are actively ignoring something, then what good is it?
Second of all, any good that the validation would be capable of is unnecessary, because those errors will be brought to your attention at compile-time anyway. Having an uninitialized variable pointed out to you while you are thinking through the algorithm does not improve the quality of the code at all verses having it pointed out when you try to run the program. The variable is still going to be initialized either way. And there is an extremely high likelyhood that you are going to fix the problem before trying to run the code anyway.
So I just don't see the point of it. I suggest turning it off, and then your problem goes away.
UPDATE
As pointed out by #Charlie Kilian, there is a flaw in VS in which .aspx files are not validated at all, unless the "Show live semantic errors" option is enabled for C#, rather than validating those pages at compile-time as would be expected.
Therefore, editing aspx files will require turning this option back on for validation.
I guess I'll be going back-and-forth with it from now on. I hope they fix this in future versions of VS.
I still think that doing a semantic analysis and error-reporting on code that is actively being edited is a fool's errand. (Of course, I have also been known to write entire programs in notepad, just to see if I could get it to compile and run correctly the very first time without the crutch of Intellisense. It feels pretty awesome when it works.)
Selected answer is incorrect because unchecking "Always show Error List if build finishes with errors" does nothing to stop the dreaded Error List window from popping up on other errors, even if you change it to show only Build errors.
11 years later in Visual Studio 2022 it is still impossible to disable Error List window.
The only correct answer to the question "Completely remove error list from visual studio" is to uninstall Visual Studio itself which, thankfully, also removes Error List window.
Either that, or we should all get used to it, because Developer Gods from Microsoft want everyone to work in absolutely the same way as they do. Every workflow that differs from their own is wrong, and every thought that doesn't align with their grand vision is blasphemy.
It is One Microsoft Way or the highway.
