Hey does anyone know if theres a way in Visual Studio to filter the intellisense dropdown list based on what you have already typed.

e.g. say under MultiScaleImage there is a UseSprings property. I type in msi.springs and in the intellisense menu it would filter out anything that does not contain springs.

Flash Develop has this functionality and I found it extremely useful.

Thanks

Check out Resharper. It adds much improved intellisense to VS and many many other features.

I belive that Visual Studio 2010 will have intellisense improvements which will give it the ability to better filter type and member code completion than prior versions. You read more about on Scott Guthrie's blog. I do not belive that the current versions will give you the level of filtering that you are looking for.
