Visual Studio Auto Complete Error

| 4 Comments

Been using Visual Studio 2003 lately, not a bad editor (no where near as good as intellij for Java for pretty good). Today, all of a sudden the autocomplete feature - called Intellisense (TM - M$) stopped working. Now normally, this is because of an error earlier in the code, not yet displayed to you (dumb). However this time my project was building fine, just no auto-complete. After much scratching of heads, the following seems to work:-


  • Shut down Visual Studio .NET

  • Open the project in explorere

  • Delete the bin and obj directories from within the project that is causing problems (or delete all of them if in doubt)

  • Start up Visual Studio


Alternatively, you could install Resharper, which is also from Jetbrains and seems to put most of the stuff that was in IntelliJ into Visual Studio, and so far works a treat. Infact I think that Ctrl-Shift-N could well be the new Ctrl-Shift-N

Alternatively, you could use Emacs! ;-)

Is this the same problem as in earlier versions of VS? If so then just deleting the .ncb file(s) should be enough.

Cool - thanks Moi, I'll give that a try!

Thanks so much! It worked for me.
