Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 12:26 am
Note: The latest version of Zeus IDE adds an option to create a tags database directly from the assembly 
By using the .Net Database Builder utility it is possible to add intellisensing for C# and Mono languages.
Here is how it is done:
For example, assume the C# Core tags database is created by adding the mscorlib, System assemblies using the process described ablove.
After the C# Core is bound to the C# document type the following code should result in the display of intellisense information for the String class.
Note: To go to the definition of String, place the cursor on the word and use the Tags, Find current word menu.
Note: To search for any C# definition use the Tags, Find... menu to bring up the Search Tag dialog.

Here is how it is done:
