Intellisense

[Ben R. Bolton]

I have found that Intellisense sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I
have yet to detect a consistant pattern, but have observed that if I define
a public enum in one project, that enum is accessable in other projects, but
it is not visible via intellisense. If I am working in the same project
the enum is visible via intellisense. How do I make an enum visible to
intellisense accross projects?

Re: Intellisense

Tian,

That is worth considering, though it does have some drawbacks. We currently
use the same enum name for each class. We then can qualify the enumeration
by it's class name when using it outside the class but without the
qualification within the class. Moving it to the name space level would
force us to incorporate the class name into the enum (or differentiate
through some other convention.) At this stage it is probably not worth the
effort, but we'll consider it for future projects.
