This page tries to give an overview of the code completion infrastructure in SharpDevelop.

Let's start with a 10000 feet overview of the libraries involved:

  • ICSharpCode.NRefactory contains a C# and VB parser, and an Abstract Source Tree to represent parsed code,
  • ICSharpCode.SharpDevelop.Dom is a type system and can resolve
  • ICSharpCode.TextEditor is the text editor used in SharpDevelop 3
  • ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit is the text editor used in SharpDevelop 4

Language bindings like CSharpBinding perform handle the text editor's code completion requests and use ICSharpCode.SharpDevelop.Dom to get the entries that should be displayed.
