VS2010:
In VB I can place the cursor inside an existing method's parameter brackets and type a 'space', which will bring up the tooltip with description of the parameter I'm at. This is not the case in C#. I have to delete the whole brackets including the parameters, and retype the left bracket, for this tooltip to show. Is there some shortcut or setting to change this behavior? I tried hitting ctrl, shift, alt, but it has no effect.
Ctrl+Shift+Space will do what you want.
You might want to check out a poster of key bindings.
It's Ctrl-K Ctrl-I for VS2015. In case people from the future are wondering wandering.
I don't understand what you mean exactly. But I use this coding for method parameters tooltip.
/// <summary>
/// Do work function
/// </summary>
/// <param name="id">This is user's Id.</param>
/// <param name="name">This is user's Name.</param>
/// <param name="surname">This is user's surname. </param>
private void DoWork(int id, string name, string surname)
{
// do stuff
}
Ctrl + K, Ctrl + P
Worked for me where Ctrl + Shift + Space
didn't. Perhaps due to Resharper?
