Visual Studio ncb file

Question

Hello everyone,

There is a ncb file under the working directory of my Visual Studio 2005 project. It is very big, almost 7M. I am wondering,

1. what is the function of this file?
2. If I want to share code with someone else remotely, could I remove this file and send only other files? (sending 7M file through slow internet connection is time consuming)

thanks in advance,
George

Answer 1

It's the Intellisense database, with information needed to provide auto-completion and such for your code.

You're free to remove this file at any time. It'll be rebuilt.
