Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.


Please restrict intellisense to types allowed for a generic type parameter. The entry will scroll down a list of all types that contains the class inherited. Let's say:

public T AddComponent<T>() where T : Component, new()
        {
            var component = new T();
            component. Entity = this;
            Components.Add(component);
            component. Initialize();
            return component;
        }

So all the classes that are inherited from Component Example: Public Class Ninja: Component Will be displayed whenever i use: AddComponent (< -Intellisense display of options where it suggests the classes that inherits the Component Class- >) So it will appears: AddComponent (<Ninja>)

Thanks in advance, Luke.
