Question

Are there any C# attributes that I can apply to class members, to change the way they appear in the IntelliSense listings? This popped into my head when I was building a class with many static constants, and I (briefly!) wanted it to look like an enumeration in IntelliSense.

Yes, that’s silly.

But it got me thinking – is there any way some crazy programmer can make a class members appear differently in IntelliSense? Make fields look like properties, etc?

For instance, there’s the Obsolete attribute:

[Obsolete("Stop using this. Really. It's old.")] public int VariableThatIsReallyOld; 

Which prefixes the word [obsolete] to the description of VariableThatIsReallyOld.

Answer 1

There’s the DebuggerDisplay attribute described here.
