.Net-like IntelliSense for VC++?

Up until now in VC++, when I want to see everything I do :: . This shows all of my objects. Is there a way to make it like c# so it checks as you type without needing :: . Thanks

I don't know of a free way to do this, but you could check out Visual Assist.

I'm a VA addict. However, Visual Studio comes with Intellisense...? (VA is just waaay better)

The Visual C++ IDE in Visual Studio does not have the option "Show completion list after a character is typed," which is the specific option from C# that you're referring to. However, you can manually bring the completion list up at any point by typing Ctrl+Space

Use Ctrl+Space to force intellisense to display itself.

Intellisense doesn't do a good job sometimes for C++ projects. They've fixed it's problems, but unfortunately the fix is only available in Visual Studio 2010.
