code completion not working in code-behind file

[jason]

i am writing some simple web forms with VB.NET as the code-behind
language.

the code-behind files import a C# class library namespace from a .dll
which is in the references list.

however, when i instantiate one of the C# classes, i get no code
completion for the class members. can anyone tell me why that is?

thanks in advance,

jason

Perhaps you're using Notepad?

almost amusing, but no. i'm using Visual Studio .NET Professional
version 2003.

Well, it does help to know! ;-)

In the Tools menu, under Options|TextEditor, open the Basic folder, and see
if "List Members" is turned on. If it is, do you get a drop-down list box of
members when you add a period after the class name? Have you tried pressing
CTRL-SPACE to auto-complete in the Code Editor?

thanks for the suggestions, but after a recompilation of the class
library, and copying it into the /bin directory of the .net web app,
the code completion is working just fine. not sure what got miswired in
the previous attempts, but it's working just fine now.

thanks again
