# How do I turn off autocomplete?

I don't really like the auto correct (but I do like the syntax error warnings!) since it sometimes autocorrects to something crazy long and no applicable.

There are two ways how to avoid this:

First simply press "ESC" when the autocompletion window appears. It has be be pressed before you type your opening "(". Another way is to press "HOME" and "END" which will also close the suggestion window. 
Pressing "RIGHT" and "LEFT" arrow usually also works.


Second you can disable the autocompletion in the VS Tools settings. However keep in mind that any changes to this setting (enable / disable) requires a restart of Visual Studio to take effect.

1)VS > Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > IntelliSense > "Committed by pressing the space bar" checkbox.

2)VS > Resharper > Options > Environment > IntelliSense > Completing Characters > C# "Complete on space" checkbox
