    Mark Hall, an architect in the Visual C++ group, made this recent post about C++ intellisense in Dev10: ...if you loved C++ intellisense in VC6, you’ll love C++ intellisense in Dev10. But if you hated C++ intellisense in VC6 (header edits pegging the CPU, large projects hanging the system, results consistently wrong, tiny errors resulting in no intellisense at all, templates and namespaces unhandled), then you’ll really love C++ intellisense in Dev10! More here: http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2009/01/27/dev10-is-just-the-beginning.aspx[^] I found this when searching for changes in the F1-help in Dev10. Anyone know of any info on that?

    Best wishes, Hans

      I think the consensus is that if you accidentally hit F1 in VS you will indeed need help. Perhaps it dispatches an emergency call to F11?

        Good article, thanks for posting it. :) Struck me as... especially humorous... how it reads as though dev10 is the immediate successor to VC6. :-\

                Considering that the simple test I ran on VS10 of a simple C++ class with a one member method and one or two member variables all defined in a single .cpp file *FAILED* to bring up intellisense at all, I'd have to say the latter half of the article is total bullshit. It sounds like what they need to do is fire most of the VC++ related team and hire some people who know what they are doing.

                            That's not really fair - VC++ people are responsible for the compiler and libraries, not the IDE.

                              My experience with VS betas are that the C++ lagged everything else by at least one [dev] "release", sometimes more. Unfortunately, this includes the actual release.

                                Which baffles me; why doesn't Microsoft just license Visual Assist? (Rhetorical question: Microsoft would actually buy some half-baked, crappy company that claimed to do the same thing. Besides, doing the obvious is just not Microsoft's style--if someone can't write an indecipherable PhD thesis on it, they won't do it.

                                    I'm absolutely loving the trial version, the only thing that bothers me about it is the automatic bracket closing and I can't find out how to turn off the bugger!

                                      I'm absolutely loving the trial version, the only thing that bothers me about it is the automatic bracket closing and I can't find out how to turn off the bugger!

                                      That's one of my favourite features of Visual Assist, TextMate (Mac editor) and e (Windows equivalent of TextMate) - except they'll close quotes, braces, brackets and others. That and the automatic insertion of brackets when you add a function call through completion (Visual Assist) and surrounding a selection with brackets, quotes or braces.

                                      Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

                                          Maybe I should start getting used to it... The first thing I do when I setup eclipse is to turn it off.
