VS2010 Auto List members not working

Question

I am using VS2010 Ultimate with VS2008 Professional also installed on the same Windows XP machine. In VS2008 I get Auto List members as shown in the image below but do not with VS2010. Note the bottom of the image shows my settings for VS2010 Auto List Members. I did try setting Hide advance members to False and also noted in one resource below that this is not a deal breaker with this issue.

Any suggestions that might be worthy trying/looiking into I would greatly appreciated.

VS2008 example, VS2010 does not show a list of members.

Resource I checked prior to posting here

Visual Studio 2010 RC Intellisense does not autolist all the members

No Intellisense with VS 2010 RC (and how to fix it)

I have Productivity Power Tools installed.

I do not have Reharper installed.

Hi Kevininstructor,
Please try to use the ““devenv.exe /resetsettings” to restore Visual Studio default settings. And then create a new project to see whether can solve this issue.
If this issue remains, please try to install the VS2010 RC patch, more information: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/02/15/patch-for-vs-2010-rc-intellisense-crash-issue-now-available.aspx

Lucy,

Running devenv.exe /resetsettings did work in regards to auto-complete working for my example of ShowDialog (image in my first post).

On a side note if I type

Dim query = <Outside>

The IDE closes complete this with a closing tag, same if I did

Dim query = <Outside><Inside>

Which results with

Dim query = <Outside><Inside></Inside></Outside>

Yet if I were to do

Dim query = _ 
    <Outside>

The IDE auto-complete does not close the tag as it does in VS2008. This I can deal with as it is not something I do every day.

Thanks for your suggestions
