Is there any tool that improves intellisense in vc++ (vs2008)?

Is there any free tool that improves Intellisense and provides code snippet in vc++ 2008? Please don't post commercial tools

• No, not that I am aware of.

  Can you explain what you would like to see improved in the intellisense engine? It's possible some of the behavior you are seeing is a bug that we may be able to help you work around if you can detail what's going on.

  yesraaj : I am missing auto complete should invoke with out pressing ctrl+space at beginning of words and relevance of identifying method name like 'getName()' just by typing 'name'

• Visual Assist

  In my experience the intellisense in VS is excellent, when it works. Whether through some quirk of how projects are set up, or a bug in VS, I don't know. But often on larger projects it ceases to work properly. I have not yet encountered that with Visual Assist.

  Cătălin Pitiș : I would add that it has additional features, like support for refactoring (renaming, creating method declaration/implementation, etc). Intellisense for file names is also a powerful feature.

  jwfearn : VA is awesome but it isn't free. IMHO it's worth its price (I just paid my yearly $99 maintenance fee yesterday!) The refactoring/renaming and improved syntax highlighting are features I use everyday.

  : Hmm. I somehow missed the part about not posting commercial tools. While VA is obviously a commercial tool, I completely agree with jwfaern, it is well worth the price.
