Dear Staff,

I was right now working with arrays, using the SyntaxEditor v4.0.0289 in evaluation and I have encountered a problem. Here is my code:

Public Sub MySub()
    Dim s As String() = New String(){"s1", "s2"}
    s(0). 'here no intellisense is shown

    Dim e As String = String. 'as well as here
    
    Dim a As String
    a. 'and here
End Sub
Is this the expected behaviour or is it an issue to be fixed?

Thanks in advance

Hi Piero,

If you surround the Sub with a Class you should be seeing member lists in those places. Make sure you have MsCorLib referenced in your project resolver too.

Thanks for the quick reply. The code I have posted is only a part of the code written in the editor; what I actually did has been a copy of the code written in one of your examples. In the Class of your code I added that additional Sub to test the aspects which interest me more.

I copy here my whole code anyway:

            'S.

            Dim e As String = String. 'as well as here
            Dim a As String
            a.
        End Sub

Sorry if I continue my post in another one but I have forgotten to write about the following statement:

    Dim e As String = String.
To be sure of the absence of lexical errors i surrounded the statement as followes:

Public Class TestClass
        
    Public Sub MySub()
        Dim e As String = String.
    End Sub

End Class
From the "String." statement I expect an Intelliprompt about the "String" class to be shown but nothing appears.

Hi Piero,

If you paste that entire code snippet into our SDI Editor sample you can see the IntelliPrompt showing up ok. So my guess is that you missed one of the steps for setting things up properly when doing it in your own app.

Make sure you read through the add-on's main documentation topic. There is a "key steps for getting started" section there. If you miss any of those, it won't work correctly.

Studying the documentation I could solve all the problems I had.

Thank you very much for the support.
The latest build of this product (v24.1.0) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
