Where have the Overrides gone in VS 2005?

Hi All,

I have VS 2005 Pro and when inheriting a class in 2003 the drop down
combobox at the top of the IDE's text editor showed the overrides + the
Events for the class. However in 2005 it just shows the Events, and not the
methods that can be overridden. Is there a setting so I can see the
overrides in this dropdown list just as I could in 2003

Regards
Neal

Enter Overrides<space> in the code editor window and you'll get a list of
overridable functions.

Unfortunately overrides have been removed from the combobox. Instead, you
can type
'Overrides' in the text editor to create a stub for an overridable member of
the base class. Sure, that's not a full replacement of the functionality of
VS.NET 2003.
