VB.Net "Hide Advanced Members" is always on #40497

Closed vsfeedback closed 21 hours ago

vsfeedback commented 4 years ago

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Under Settings - Text editor - Basic - General, there is a setting, "Hide advanced members".

This setting is disabled (greyed out) and unckeched. Yet, the VS behaves as if it is Enabled. That is, "advanced" members of all classes are hidden from VB.NET users in all projects. Intellisense does not show them, and there is no way to know they even exist.

I've tried exporting the VS settings. In the exported file, the setting is listed as "false" (which matches the unchecked look of the textbox).

I've tried resetting the settings back to defaults. That did not fix the behaviour, IntelliSense still incorrectly hides "advanced" members in VB projects.

This makes programming in VB.NET (mostly supporting existing codebase) really, really frustrating.

Expected behaviour: All members are shown in VB.NET, or at least there is a way to make them show. Currently there is no way to make them show.

A fine example of a hidden "advanced" member is DataGridViewRow.DataBoundItem (in a Windows Forms application):

Dim r As DataGridViewRow
r.Da   ' Intellisense appears, but DataBoundItem is not listed.

I am observing the same problem in VS 2019.

Like in 2017, there is simply no way to have Intellisence show the members there.

I can't remember if there was some old reason why we went with this behavior, but it does seem incorrect.

I will speculate that you wanted to hide pointer-related stuff from VB users having no plans to support it there in the foreseeable future, but forgot that the "advanced member" flag is widely used in the framework for things not related to pointers.

A news about this issue? It almost 2 years visual studio have this problem and still does in 16.5.4.

AliParLouS commented 4 years ago

If anyone had this issue in VB, Close VS 2019, Open this file with notepad C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_1442dd31\Settings\CurrentSettings.vssettings and search for name="HideAdvancedMembers">false then change false to true, Save the file, Then all intellisense should work in VB.

The version 16.0_1442dd31 could be different in you PC, You should find right version.

@AliParLouS I opened that file (except 16.0_aad193ae instead of 16.0_1442dd31) in both Visual Studio and Notepad++ and it was already true so I changed it to false which didn't work then changed it back to true and it still didn't work. And when I tried to open the file in Notepad there wasn't anything in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_aad193ae\Settings.

Hello everyone. I just start to learn coding and try to use VS and i have same error like you. Dont have suggestions for coding. I try to do everything that i can find to fix it, but it doesnt work. And finaly when i see there is no answer for 2 years i decide to change the editor. Something strange happened. I try another Microsoft product "Visual Studio Code". When i install it he ask me did i want to install some extension to write in C#. Ofcourse i click yes and after that i dont know why i decide to try Visual Studio again and it worked just fine with all code suggestions. Hope this work for you too or I give some clue how can this be fixed.

Recently I had to install VS in a new laptop and this problem came up. I can't change the property "Hidden advanced members" under certain languages and if I change it in "All languages" nothing is fixed. Main language of the problematic project is VB.net. I changed directly in the property file as suggested by AliParLouS but also doesn't work.
