BUG: IntelliSense displays namespaces with inaccessible members in Visual Basic .NET or in Visual Basic 2005 (326443)

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Create a new Visual Basic .NET or Visual Basic 2005 Class Library project that is named ClassLibrary1.
2. Replace the code in the default Class1 module with the following code:

   Namespace NoAccessibleMembers
       Friend Class FriendObject
           Sub SomeMethod()
                'Do something here.
           End Sub
       End Class
   End Namespace
   
   Namespace AccessibleMembers
       Public Class MyObject
           Sub Test()
              'Do something here.
           End Sub
       End Class
   End Namespace
   					

3. On the View menu, click Solution Explorer.
4. In Solution Explorer, right-click ClassLibrary1, and then click Properties.
5. Clear the Root Namespace property. To do this, expand the General node under the Common Properties node in the ClassLibrary1 Property Pages dialog box, delete the text in the Root namespace box, and then click OK.
   
   Note In Visual Studio 2005, clear the Root Namespace property in the first default page.
6. On the File menu, click Save All.
7. On the Build menu, click Build ClassLibrary1.
8. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project to create a new Visual Basic .NET Windows Application project. By default, Form1 is created.
9. On the Project menu, click Add Reference.
10. Click Browse, click the ClassLibrary1.dll assembly that you built in step 5, and then click Open.
11. Click OK to close the Add Reference dialog box.
12. Double-click in the Form window to view its Load event handler in the Code window.
13. Type Dim x As in the Load event handler. Notice that after you type the letters "As", IntelliSense displays both the AccessibleMembers and the NoAccessibleMembers namespaces. However, IntelliSense should not display the NoAccessibleMembers namespace because it does not contain any members that are accessible to this project.
