Help on extension method doesn't include this parameter

When opening an extension method like Join, when you type the open parenthesis the pop-up help that provides the overloads do not include the this parameter in the parameter list, e.g. the Join help does not reference a parameter for TOuter.

  • Yes, that's by design. Because it displays the help for whatever parameter you're currently typing, there's no way to access the implicit first parameter, unless you call Join like this:

    Enumerable.Join (...

    The help highlights the current parameter as you are typing, but it has no problem showing previous parameters once a comma is typed. Why couldn't it automatically add one/skip the this parameter when highlighting?
    The Enumerable.Join doesn't include the keyword this, so if that was part of the extension method .Join help...

  • I see this is implemented. It is very nice - thanks!
