AutoCorrect wrong when using aliasses
This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.
[severity:It bothers me. A fix would be nice] Aliassing types will cause Intellisense to give wrong names for variables.
When aliassing for example two integers to make them human readable, as in my example code
using EntityId = System.Int32; using ComponentId = System.Int32;
And I have a function
_EntityId GetEntityIdByComponentId(ComponentId id) { ... } _
And I type it in another class, Intellisense gives the following definition in the intellisense popup
EntityId GetEntityIdByComponentId(EntityId id)
As you can see IntelliSense cannot differentiate between the different aliasses. Probably because they are of the same type System.Int32.
This is cosmetic but it can throw you off of the true meaning of your code and make you think you made a mistake, so it bothers me.
Either IntelliSense should show it as an Int32 or give back the alias that you used in the function definition.
That said I sill love Visual Studio and C# :-)

It's definitely an interesting suggestion. It seems reasonable to try to track this info an attempt to match to another equivalent alias if possible if the original alias names matched. It might turn out to be very complex to do though depending on how much information is erased.
