Visual C# IntelliSense

IntelliSense is a powerful feature that can significantly increase your productivity because it provides logical code elements that you can select from a drop-down menu when you are coding. It is designed to make the development of your application much easier by helping you automatically generate code in the Code Editor. This process can reduce the time that you spend typing and help you avoid introducing typographical errors in your code.
