I would like to double check something. It appears that VisualStudio 2k3's
IntelliSense feature is case sensitive, is that correct? Why am I asking?
Cause one "feature" I like with JBuilder is it's CodeInsight is not case
sensitive, therefore I can just focus on the correct spelling of a method,
not it's case, I was hoping VS had the same flexibility, is it possible?

Thanks.

Maybe it depends on the language. I program in VB.NET and Intellisense is
not case sensitive. Although I guess there's no good reason for it to be
case sensitive in any language.

Maybe, I forgot to mention I was using C#. I understand the method/property
names are case-sensitive, but when I'm hunting and pecking for them, they
could be search case-insensitive.

I agree completely! But maybe in C#, it's just using reflection to get the
method/property names and therefore it's using case sensitivity just by that
nature? OH well, I'm not too keen on always having to hit the SHIFT key for
the proper letter and then hitting another hotkey sequence to get the IDE to
finish/find the proper method/property names.

Hmm. I just opened up a C# project on my machine and I'm not seeing any
case sensitivity. In the past I have noticed quirks in Intellisense when
writing code in C# but it appears to be responding properly right now.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

Interesting, I'll try it again tonight/this weekend at home. Thanks.
