Intellisense <% = intended <% @Assembly = returned

When I edit my aspnetmvc views, I start the code brackets:

<%

and intellisense float items like

<% @Assembly ... <% @ Control ... <% @ etc.

which is good, but when I continue my line and press the [=] key, it automatically selects <% @Assembly =%> and completes my tag.

It's not a huge deal, but it slows me down a bit, especially when editing forms with missing fields.

Has anyone encountered this problem in the past and there is a way to either add <% = to intellisense or stop returning other directives when I press [=].

I remember seeing the same problem in one of Phil Haaz's recent demonstrations (he says something like "What was that?" And then continues), but I don't remember which one.

Thanks for the help,

Hal

I think I found the answer. I created the following macro:

Option Strict Off
Option Explicit Off
Imports System
Imports EnvDTE
Imports EnvDTE80
Imports EnvDTE90
Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Module RecordingModule


    Sub CleanupImplementedInterface()
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.LineDown(True, 7)
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = " {get"
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.DeleteLeft(3)
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = " get; set; }"
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.CharRight
    DTE.ExecuteCommand ("Edit.Replace")
    DTE.Find.FindWhat = " {"
    DTE.Find.Target = vsFindTarget.vsFindTargetCurrentDocument
    DTE.Find.MatchCase = False
    DTE.Find.MatchWholeWord = False
    DTE.Find.Backwards = False
    DTE.Find.MatchInHiddenText = True
    DTE.Find.PatternSyntax = vsFindPatternSyntax.vsFindPatternSyntaxLiteral
    DTE.Find.Action = vsFindAction.vsFindActionFind
    If(DTE.Find.Execute() = vsFindResult.vsFindResultNotFound) Then
Throw New System.Exception("vsFindResultNotFound")
End If
    DTE.Windows.Item("{CF2DDC32-8CAD-11D2-9302-005345000000}").Close
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.CharLeft
    End Sub
    Sub Brackets()
    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<%="
    End Sub
End Module

Then in the IDE I opened Tools> Options> Environment> Keybord

In the "Show commands containing:" text box, I typed the name of my macro.



Then I selected "HTML Source Editor" from the "Use new shortcut in:" dropdown and pressed the Alt-B shortcut key.

Now when I need a parenthesis, instead of using intellisense, I just press Alt-B in the editor.

Ugly but workable solution. Hopefully they will fix this in 2010. Didn't look.

Enter Cntl-Z twice and the automatic change will be canceled. You can do this for any unwanted Intellisense suggestions.
