VS community 2015 is different

Question

I've been coding in visual basic using VS 2010.  I downloaded VS Community 2015 and have found it to be a complete overhaul for VB. for instance, you can no longer check if another form is visible anymore

if form1.visible = true then

end if

and you are unable to perform actions from one form to another:

form1.button1.perform_click

am I missing something or was this taken out of vb altogether (or done a different way)

Answer 1

I think that it should work. Maybe it is a limitation of IntelliSense. Then try this:

    Dim f1 = Form1

    If f1.Visible Then

        ' . . .

    End If

    f1.Button1.PerformClick()

Answer 2

Thanks Viorel, i did check it and writing it out does work it just does not show up in Intellisense.

Answer 3

Thanks for Viorel_'s help.

Hi mreed72,

Since your problem is caused by the intellisense function, please check following settings from Tools -> Options -> Text Editor and Intellisense to confirm you have enable this function.

I checked the settings under: Settings > Tools -> Options -> Text Editor  that one was ok, but the other setting "IntelliTrace"  I do not have that setting.

Hi mreed72,

For your question, as we know VS 2015 Community doesn't support IntelliTrace.
