Intellisense filter?

Is there anyway to filter intellisense based on events, properties methods In other words, lets say I know i'm looking for a property in an object, I'd like to view only properties and not everything through intellisense... is this possible

    The Whole Tomato Visual Assist add in supports this behavior, but to be honest it's designed for c++ so it's occasionally wonky

    with c#, mostly in asp stuff, but it's still wonky. Maybe one of the c# dedicated addins supports this too

    Blast,

    It's not currently possible in VS 2005 to filter (or sort) the IntelliSense completion list. There are a few strategies to get this informaiton from VS, though they do take you away from the editor. For examle, you can use Class View, right-click on the member pane, and select "Group By Member Type." Then when you find yourself asking "what are all the events on Button" or a similar question, you can use the search pane and filter down the Class View list. If you're using the Visual C# Develolpment Settings then you can use "Ctrl+K, Ctrl+V" to navigate directly to the Class View serach combobox, type the name, and hit <enter> to get back the result. <Tab> will take you to the bottom pane and Ctrl+Tab can get you back to the file that you were editing.

    Hope that helps!

    I have the exact requirement, it is annoying to move the cursor where you are typing to handle the class explorer. Microsoft C# team must consider this feature, I guess a simple survey will support this.
