Dots and Dot - possible intellisense issues !?

[Phil Hepburn]

Hi Robert and the Team (and all),

Yesterday while getting the Entity Framework 6 sample to save data, I found a possible issue with intellisense in my X# editor in VS 2017.

As you know, since you provided me with the code syntax flexibility to use a single dot, in place of the usual double dot, I have used it extensively. And I like it, even for "self.class".

Problem is that in my test code only the double dot currently brings up the context menu related to intellisense - see below :-

Above shows okay for a double dot (colon) but below is not so good ;-(

I am aware that you probably know about this but since I found it out yesterday I thought I ought to report it.

I should have noticed this earlier - BUT - I have gotten very used to working without intellisense that it passed me by ;-0)

Oh! - and look in another thread as the EF^ demo app now simply stores my .NET complex object data to SQL database. Good news for Michael and other interested guys.

Thanks for listening.
