How dumb Visual Studio is...

Post by cpprules »

i just realized how supid bug is existing:
when you write

using namespace irr;

and then you acess a function within that namespace...

CreateDevice(

Autocompletion isn't working! so you have to write irr::CreateDevice( if you want it!
Therefor you can't use namespaces because of this. Very stupid.
( But i like to use video::, gui::, driver:: anyhow )

Works fine for me. You sure you've included irrlicht.h in a place where it can find it (sorry to ask a stupid question)

its still a very good application ... every app has bugs, be happy if its a small bug like this :) (would be more worse if it would trash your code or something like that)

one of the undred causes because I use dev-cpp with mingw :D
I'd rather have a search engine or a compiler on a deserted island than a game.

Visual Studio isn't bad. It's the best IDE available. But it can be better, don't you think?

VS2005 rocks

I love VS 2005 beta 2, specifically because Intellisense is smarter. I migrated to it for that specific reason, although it does eat your page file for breakfast.

Except for me, everything can be better, like this topic in the first place.

Delete your .ncb and .opt files, then do a full rebuild. Autocompletion/Intellisense should work OK then. I run into that crap all the time with DevStudio (6.0). I haven't ran into it with DevStudio.NET, however.
