> In order to get IntelliSense to work correctly, bottom-up programming is best. IntelliSense wants every class, every method, every property, every field, every method parameter, every local variable properly defined before you refer to it. If that’s not the case, then IntelliSense will try to correct what you’re typing by using something that has been defined, and which is probably just plain wrong. Maybe I'm spoiled by Resharper and similar, but I feel like this statement is wrong now, given the buttons for "generate property", "generate class", "generate method", etc. I often just start using a variable and then click generate to make it exist. Especially in the C++ world where it means editing a header file, rewriting the type, duplicating the function prototype, etc this is a big time saver.
