HI !

I've finally moved from VS2017 to the latest VS2019 with the latest VA an I can't get the "Surround Selection" to work.

When I select several lines and press / or * the lines are deleted.

VS 16.2.3
VA_X.dll file version 10.9.2341.2 built 2019.08.05
DevEnv.exe version 16.2.29215.179 Community
msenv.dll version 16.0.29215.179
Comctl32.dll version 6.10.18362.295
Windows 10 10.0 1903 Build 18362.295

Any help appreciated

Regards

*oh* you are using C++ but with a non-standard extension. Makes sense now
I'm glad it works now!

Hi !

I finally found the issue.

VA is not working with Arduino project anymore with VS2019 as it was with VS2017.

I followed this tutorial and now it works as expected :

Added .ino to ExtSource

Also, very important question: did Visual Assist integrate into your Visual Studio editor?
To answer this question, you need to check if you can see VA Navigation Bar on the top of the editor:

Do other functions work? For example, can you run VA Find References on a symbol?

Can you please do an enable/disable cycle?

1. Disable VA through extension manager: Extensions -> Manage Extensions...
2. Find VA
3. Click Disable
4. Restart Visual Studio
5. Enable VA through extension manager: Extensions -> Manage Extensions...
6. Restart Visual Studio

Does this make any difference?

Yes it's for C++.

I've the settings ticked.

Already tried to untick/tick, restart, install again....

It was working great on VS2017.

- Are you using C++ or C# or something else?
- Do you have the following settings ticked?
VA Options -> Editor -> Surround selection via character toggles
VA Options -> Editor -> /
VA Options -> Editor -> *
