Is it possible to generate intellisense list somehow that will list all Microsoft packages extensions for ASP.NET classes? Or something like separate catalogue in Nuget package manager to browse Microsoft extensions only.
I am still new to ASP.NET 5 and currently watching/reading a lot of tutorials.
What I hate about it so far is that in every tutorial they say something like:
"you can use app.UseStaticFiles() to server static files, BUT you must add the package"
Problem here is I MUST know how the method is called. So far it is
UseStaticFiles UseMvc UseBrowserLink UseDeveloperExceptionPage UseIISPlatformHandler AddJsonFile AddUserSecrets AddEnvironmentVariables
and this is something I should've learned from documentation or reading all the classes.
In older versions of any MS product I could enter . and at least see all the options in IntelliSense and then lookup information in documentation for all the methods I found interesting.
I understand MS decided to split .NET into tons of packages, but still it is part of Microsoft products and I really wish it to be supported in Visual Studio. I have an Enterprise edition of that. Can it help me with Microsoft products at least?
Most developers would probably agree that if you develop in Microsoft stack usually you want to use Microsoft's libraries first before you go to reinvent the wheel or look for third parties if you couldn't find built-in solution.
