Visual Studio 2008 Intellisense Priority Settings

Question

Is there someway to get VS 2008 intellisense to default to Properties over Classes in a name collision?

Example:

Within my scope I have a property Foo, but I'm also using a class Foo. When writing code, if I start to type F o, VS2008 intellisense will think I mean the class Foo. I want it to think I mean the property Foo instead.

Answer 1

Unfortunately no this is not possible. Customization of the priority of value categories like classes / properties is not supported

Answer 2

There is no possibility in VS2010 and not even in ReSharper 5.0 to deal with this issue. It won't be a feature of ReSharper 6.0 as well, according to JetBrains. I use a different name for the property, when it starts making me aggressive and refactor it after I've done most of the work.

Update:

I reported the issue to JetBrains some time ago and I just got an eMail that the feature has been added and will be available in Release 6.1. So good news for ReSharper users on this one!
