I've just filed my "FIRST" bug ever over @ connect.ms. Hopefully its a real bug. Nothing big, maybe someone here can verify it?
Open up any file/new or old.. (I used VB.Net Express)
type this in
const BLAH as integer = 5
#const blah = 4
#if blah then
any code here
#end if
Now move the mouse over the blah in #if blah.. This "Should" show 4 right? For me it shows 5.
If const BLAH as integer = 5 is commented out, #if blah doesn't show anything when the mouse is over it. hmm. I didn't put that in the bug report. Need to edit that. [Done]
Can anyone here confirm this? here or in the actual bug report?

If I've done something wrong, or should have explained things better, please let me know. As I said before it was my first bug report. ![]()

It's a bug. I have tried it in VS 2005 Pro. It's also showing the wrong thing. If you rename the #Const blah to blah1 and try to hover again, nothing is shown!

Well, at least now they know about it. I guess thats all that matters. Doesn't break the program or anything like that, nothing serious so.. Who knows when it'll get fixed.

I can understand why. It's not a major issue that keeps you from working with the program, but a proper fix for it (recognizing that the variable is in a preprocessor directive) would probably require a substantial reworking of Intellisense, so it wouldn't be worth the effort.
