Hi

I created a line

test = new Test();

Obvioulsy bum syntax , but the start of a declaration.

When I hover over the second an pick the refactoring icon , there is NO option to Create a Stub Class Test , the offering is to make a Method

VS Auto Tags shows an option to Create A Class Test

Thoughts ?

Mike

Create from usage shouldn't be offered here:

case=63470

We are considering to support a "create class" refactoring in situations like this, probably as part of create from usage:

case=27628

Out of interest: what is VS Auto Tags? Is it a Visual Studio extension or a default feature? Can you please post a screenshot about how it works? Or if it's an extension, maybe a link to it would be cool

Try this text

Hover over the Dog and a smalll blue underscore appears , click on it and the context menu occurs

I have always assumed they are VS standard . The only significant add in is VAX , even the Productivity Power Tools are disabled to show this and this is a new PC so no "long lost legacies".

I have seen them referred to as Smart Tags maybe there is an offiical name that I don't know of.

They seem to the equivalent of the inverted triangle VAX Refactor icon

They appear when "useful things" are available

You notice its doing exactly what I am suggesting , offering to create the "Missing" class on the fly.

This is in VS2010 Ultimate but I am sure I saw it in VS2010 Pro as well before I upgraded.

Cheers

Mike

Looks like they have been around a while from this post

Called Smart Tags not Auto Tags
