Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut to scroll a method's overloads that appears in the tooltip is? I presently have to resort to using the mouse to click the ^ and v labels in the tooltip, which isn't particularly effective.
Thanks!

What's the command to bring up the tooltip? I know the shortcut in Eclipse (Ctrl + Space) but that's Eclipse...
In VS the tooltip shows when you type the first bracket but if I would like to see the different method overloads for a method that's been implemented already, how would I do that?
Press Ctrl + Shift + Space to see the list of overloads and arguments.
See the Visual C# 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster for more keyboard shortcuts.
Sometimes I have to hit escape to get rid of the intellisence popup before using the arrow keys to scroll through the overload list.

There's got to be an easier way than this:
- place the cursor just after the first bracket
- erase it
- re-type it (tada!)
- navigate the methods using up and down arrows
- when you're done, press ctrl+z to undo changes.
1. To Show Overloading Suggestions
Place the cursor after the first bracket and press CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE to bring it back.
Also, Erasing the opening bracket and writing it back can do the trick too.
2. To Scroll through Overloading Suggestions/Options
if your IntelliSense options are showing then press ESC which will hide it. Now, it's time to use the Up/Down arrow keys to see the charm.
if your IntelliSense is disabled, the Up/Down arrow keys will work directly.
You can type a comma after the last parameter of the function. That will bring up the intelisense menu
