Hello,
I have checked off "Include VA snippets in listboxes" from the VA options menu, but I am still unable to get snippet suggestions to show up.
In C++ projects this works flawlessly. Also my snippet shortcuts do not seem to work either. Namely there is a default snippet in VisualAssist fills a line with forward slashes when the shortcut "///" is typed. I cannot get this snippet to work at all, again in C++ it works perfectly.
Am I forgetting to do something?
To replicate, create a C# Project in VS2012:
Open VS2012 > File > New > New Project > Templates > Other Languages > Visual C# > Console Application > OK
Then if I try to use the "///" snippet, doesn't work.
Here is my VA info:
VA_X.dll file version 10.8.2043.0 built 2014.07.10
DevEnv.exe version 11.0.61030.0 Professional
msenv.dll version 11.0.61030.0
Comctl32.dll version 6.10.7601.17514
Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1
4 processors (x86-64, WOW64)
Language info: 1252, 0x1009
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael |

Which IDE and version of VA are you using?
In VA Options -> Suggestions, which options are turned On and which are turned Off? VA Snippets are working as expected for me in VS2012, C# with VA 2043, and I have:
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Include suggestions in listboxes = On
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Include bits of code from surrounding lines = Off
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Filter C# completion lists to show only VA suggestions = On
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Include VA Snippets in listboxes = On
One thing to watch for with /// is that if you type this on the line before a comment, the IDE will insert an XML comment block for the function, but if you type this somewhere else then the VA Snippet should be suggested, and work, correctly. |

My settings under VA Options -> Suggestions match yours.
I am using VA 2043, Visual Studio 2012 Professional Update 4.
After "///" is typed, the three slashes turn grey, a fourth slash will turn them green again. This doesn't happen in C++ projects, not sure if that is any indication of the problem. |

This is what I am seeing, using the same IDE and version of VA, working in a .cs file:
the listbox appears virtually instantly, and the tooltip 3 or 4 seconds later, telling me that this is VA Snippet.
Do you have:
VA Options -> Listboxes -> Enable Visual Assist completion, suggestion and member listboxes in C#
turned On or Off? If this is turned Off can you please turn this on. This might be why this is not working for you. |

D'oh! I did not have that turned on, turning it on fixed the problem instantly.
Thank you very much for your help! |

Sorry to necro this old post but I'm having this exact same problem with snippets, except that "Enable Visual Assist completion, suggestion and member listboxes in C#" is disabled and greyed out (I cannot change the option).
I've never used it with C# before, so I honestly couldn't tell you if it was working at some point or not, but it works fine in C++.
I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015
VA_X.dll file version 10.9.2076.0 built 2015.09.15

jrdmellow, our latest build does not support listboxes in VS2015, sorry about that. The way Visual Studio handles listboxes in C# has changed and since we've experienced problems with listboxes in C#, we've decided to disable them for now.
We're working on this and we will enable the support in our next build.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |
