Can I make Visual Studio's code completion win

Question

Is it possible to make Visual Studio 2010's code completion window more like that of Eclipse (Java)?

In particular, I'd love the code completion window to give me a variable's type, and a method's return type and expected parameters, without needing to hover the highlight over that particular variable/method. Here's Eclipse's:

VS's code completion's little icons that indicate if something is a property, method etc are useful, but they just aren't enough.

Unfortunately, there's no built-in way to do this. Visual Studio offers only very limited options related to customizing its Intellisense display.

You'll have to turn to third-party solutions or add-ins, or settle down to write your own using one of the existing options as a guide. Here are a few that can be found around the web:

• Visual Studio Intellisense Presenter (looks like it might be very close to what you're looking for)
• CSharpIntellisensePresenter
• Visual Assist X (commercial software with 30-day free trial)
