When the user types one of these characters immediately after the name of an entity having one or more accessible members (such as contained variables or functions), IntelliSense suggests matches in a pop-up dialog. The 'classic' implementation of IntelliSense works by detecting marker characters such as periods (or other separator characters, depending on the language). Intelligent code completion uses an automatically generated in-memory database of classes, variable names, and other constructs that given computer code defines or references. variables and functions) in the active scope appears dynamically in the form of tooltips. It also allows for users to refer less frequently to external documentation, as interactive documentation on many symbols (i.e.
The feature speeds up software development by reducing keyboard input and the necessity for name memorization. Intelligent code completion, which is similar to other autocompletion systems, is a convenient way to access descriptions of functions-and in particular their parameter lists.
