Visual Studio How to show Overloads in IntelliSense

Question

Once code has been written  the only way I know of to view the overloads for a method is to actually edit the method by deleting the Parenthesis    and reopening them   Is there a shortcut key that I could press to activate this instead of having to edit my files   For an example  please reference the ShowDialog Overload screen shot below

Great question  I had the same issue  Turns out that there is indeed a keyboard shortcut to bring up this list  Ctrl Shift Space  a variation of the basic IntelliSense shortcut of Ctrl Space

Tested only on Visual Studio 2010   Place your cursor within the     press Ctrl K  then P   Now navigate by pressing the  nbsp   nbsp  nbsp   nbsp   nbsp  nbsp  arrow keys

Ctrl Shift Space shows the Edit ParameterInfo for the selected method  and by selected method I mean the caret must be within the method parentheses   Here is the Visual Studio 2010 Keybinding Poster   And for those still using 2008

It happens that none of the above methods work  Key binding is proper  but tool tip simply doesn t show in any case  neither as completion help or on demand   To fix it just go to Tools Text Editor C   or all languages  and check the  Parameter Information   Now it should work

I know this is an old post  but for the newbies like myself who still hit this page this might be useful  when you hover on a method you get a non clickable info-box whereas if you just write a comma in the method parenthesis the IntelliSense will offer you the beloved info-box with the clickable arrows

The default key binding for this is Ctrl Shift Space  The underlying Visual Studio command is Edit ParameterInfo    If the standard keybinding doesn t work for you  possible in some profiles  then you can change it via the keyboard options page   Tools -  Options Keyboard Type in Edit ParameterInfo Change the shortcut key  Hit Assign

The command Edit ParameterInfo  mapped to Ctrl Shift Space by default  will show the overload tooltip if it s invoked when the cursor is inside the parameter brackets of a method call  The command Edit QuickInfo  mapped to Ctrl KCtrl I by default  will show the tooltip that you d see if you moused over the cursor location

Every once and a while the suggestions above stop working  if I restart Visual Studio they start working again though

User · Answer

Try the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Space  This corresponds to Edit ParameterInfo  in case you ve changed the default   Example
