Intellisense Problem

Question

Hello, I have yet another problem which is that Intellisense stops working. When my script reachs a certain legnth it just won't work anymore. Now it sometimes even doesn't work when I start new applications. (I am using Visual Studio 2005 June CTP).

With Thanks,

Answer 1

Can you be more specific on what does not work? Does IntelliSense fail for the whole file? Or for a portion of the file after a certain statement? Or for all symbols in a project? Or for just some symbols everyone in the project?

IntelliSense was very flaky in the June CTP (and earlier). Can you try the RC build?

Thanks,

Answer 2

Hello Tarek, I will be more specific;
Intellisense works only when I type '::'. The problem is when I use '->' Intellisense does not work anymore. It just says ". or -> used incorrectly.". Is this a bug only I have and is related to my script or is this a well known bug in June CTP?

With Thanks,

Answer 3

There is nothing wrong with your code since it compiles. It's certainly IntelliSense flakiness at play here.

IntelliSense for the June CTP and earlier Beta bits was very flaky. I suggest you try the RC build since it's a lot more stable when it comes to IntelliSense.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am not that familiar with VS... I am having exactly the same problem with Intellisense. I have version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200). Where can I download this "RC" thing? Is it still actual? Is it better than the version I have now? Thanks for the help.

Hi,

you use the last release version which is available for download in MSDN subscription. But also on my machine the problem is the same. I don't know if they any fix available for this problem. I just renamed the file <VS root path>\VC\vcpackages\feacp.dll for avoid the problem. But now I still have some problems in ClassView which is update each second and the screen is flackering.
I don't know if this is related to the same problem.

Paul.
