I've never used Resharper but Visual Studio's Intellisense is incredibly powerful. What's lacking in its autocomplete support?

I'm not the same guy, but what I've found: - No substring completion (e.g., like emacs's ido-mode), no fuzzy completion (e.g., like various JS-based editors), no acronym completion (e.g., like emacs) - Navigation bar searches are shit. You have to select namespace, then class, then symbol, and there seems to be no keyboard shortcut for any of this stuff. It should present a list of entities in the file, display fully…

Hi to3m, Thanks for your suggestions! We have forwarded them to our Visual Studio team. FYI, your suggestions are always welcome at visual studio.uservoice.com

Is shift+click just too hard?

Unless you've got some wacky key bindings, that selects text between the caret and the mouse cursor. F12 is the shortcut I've got. Alt+F12 for "Peek".

They might have meant Ctrl+Click

Lmao 5200rpm drive. Yeah that's clearly Windows/Parallels' fault. Developers not using SSDs is like a race car driver using an Impala off the car lot for a race.

Ah yes I wasn't saying that it was Parallels fault, other than there is clearly a lot of hardware out there (including "top of the line" Macs from a few years ago) that have this hardware. If I switch to an SSD, yes the problem would go away. BUT! we should not be quick to ignore hardware like this and suggest to upgrade as a solution. Since there is a lot of hardware in use with that spec, it is best to cater for it…

You're a developer, not an end user.

You use a slow machine for testing, not building.

This is like saying my fucking carpenter shouldn't use power saws.

Maybe you should have gotten a better machine then. If by a few years ago you mean 2010, then sure. We're 1/2 a decade past that now.

Tell this to my IT department that gave me a Macmini with SSD and not only insists on antivirus but also on File Vault. It takes a long time to boot and Xcode compiles are horribly slow. (Eventually I'll convince them, it just hasn't been worth it to push too hard yet since 99% of my time is spent in VS on the Windows box sitting next to it.) (FWIW, I prefer VS to Xcode, despite preferring Mac to Windows. IntelliSens…

You should tell them and your managers. For every 1/2 day you sit watching the machine, they could be getting double the workload out of you.

As a consultant and contractor this is the first thing I point out. However, it's their money, not mine.

I was debugging a Node app on Windows with VSCode about 20 minutes ago.

You can debug a Node application, my comment was with regards to a C# application.

You can already debug C# programs on OSX and Linux, I've done it myself. You can't debug ASP.NET apps yet but it's in the pipeline apparently.

I disagree as a developer who does (personal) development on a 2010 laptop (1st gen Westmere, upgraded to SSD). My laptop is perfectly adequate for my development work (Android, Python). Besides, no ones should have to run Windows via hypervisor in a multi-platform world such as the one Microsoft is promising for C#, this is what makes beefy machines 'necessary'.

No one forces you to use MS products, a MS OS VM or C#.

So it's not 'necessary', it's a choice you're making.

The same is true of Visual Studio you can apply a license in VS. I just did it in VS 2015. No sign in required.

I've got MSDN, can I do this? Necessitating the signin really pissed me off.

If you have a license key then yes.

Sometimes I am disappointed by responses on here as spittle appears to end up on my screen, instead of logical calm responses.

The bottleneck is indeed the hard disk but everything else about the machine is perfectly acceptable. Unless I need more cores in my CPU and all software has suddenly been rewritten to do everything in parallel and nobody does queue based operations now?

My managers can be somewhat closed-fisted and stingy. Blood from a stone is easier.
