Symbol Code Completion (previously known as Basic Code Completion) completes names of classes, methods, variables, keywords, and any other symbols that are available within the current visibility scope (including extension methods that were previously imported).
- Place the caret at the position where you're going to type your code.
- Press Ctrl+Space.
Tip
To make sure that CamelHumps works with
Code Completion, clear the
Case-sensitive prefix matching

IntelliSense | Completion Behavior. Note that the
Use

doesn't have any impact on how
CamelHumps works in completion.
You can use the following examples to get an idea of how Symbol Code Completion works with various code items:
- Suggesting type-based variable names
- Suggesting members of a class
- Suggesting visible types
- Suggesting C# keywords
- Suggesting "this" keyword for static methods in static classes
- Completion for enum members
- Symbol Completion using CamelHumps
- Completion for unresolved symbols
- Completion for argument names
- Suggesting members of a dynamic type
- Suggesting elements of file structure in build scripts
Suggesting type-based variable names
Commonly
used names for fields and variables are suggested depending on their
type. After entering the type of a variable, press
Ctrl+Space.
The look-up list displays the suggested names:
If you enter a variable name prefix, ReSharper will append it to
each suggested name:
You can specify a prefix and/or a suffix for all new variable names in
Options | Code Editing | C# | C# Naming Style.
If you do that, completion items will be modified accordingly:
Suggesting members of a class
Suggesting visible types
Suggesting c# keywords
Suggesting "this" keyword for static methods in static classes
Completion for enum members
Symbol completion using camelhumps
Completion for unresolved symbols
Early used names of data types and their members are suggested,
even if they are not declared anywhere in the code and cannot be resolved.
Completion for argument names
Suggesting members of a dynamic type
Suggesting elements of file structure in build scripts
ReSharper provides code completion capabilities for MSBuild and NAnt scripts.
It suggests tags, their attributes, properties, item groups and metadata names.
ReSharper distinguishes required elements and adds special icon, so you can easily find them in the
completion list.
The list includes all symbols visible in the current scope, so pick an item from the list or continue typing
to narrow down the scope.
To invoke the completion list in NAnt scripts, press
Ctrl+Space
or
select
ReSharper | Edit | Complete Symbol.
In MSBuild scripts ReSharper does it for you, automatically.
