Code Completion

Code completion is handled by ReSharper, as long as the reference also implements the ICompleteableReference interface. This interface inherits from IReference and defines just one method:

public interface ICompleteableReference : IReference
{
  ISymbolTable GetCompletionSymbolTable();
}

This method should return a symbol table of candidates. Each candidate will be added to the code completion list. The implementation for this is usually very straightforward:

public ISymbolTable GetCompletionSymbolTable()
{
  return GetReferenceSymbolTable(false);
}

We simply return the symbol table from IReference.GetReferenceSymbolTable by passing false for useReferenceName. This is already our list of candidates, so we don't need to do any further processing.
