How to get parameter hints/completion in Visual Studio?

You can use:

Ctrl+Shift+Space. This brings up the argument list for a method your cursor is currently in.

Example:

typing

Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space with the cursor after "a", results in:

ctrlshiftspace

You can check this is properly assigned in the keyboard settings, as Edit.ParameterInfo:

assigned


For my case, neither Ctrl+Shift+Space nor Ctrl+K+P work.. eventually I nailed it down to this settings:

Visual Studio Text Editor Intellisense

Now whenever I typed (, intellisense will automatically pop up!.. nice!

As it turned out, this is caused by Resharper..., the Resharper uninstall doesn't correctly restore the original Visual Studio settings.
