Intellisense is not working, what can I do?

I created a custom table with ~40 fields on it, and I created a `public void initFromXXX(XXX _xxx)` method and when I type "this.", it doesn't show any of the fields even though they are there.

I'm not doing anything wrong, Intellisense is just broken. When I type "this.", my custom Index shows up, but none of the fields seem to be showing up. I've verified in SQL the table/fields exist.

I've performed a full model build and synchronized the DB...what do I do so that Intellisense will update?

Is there some cache or something?

Hello Wmyk,

Use the screen clip that Rahul shared in his previous post and use the steps i have mentioned for resetting the Visual Studio settings.

It will be interesting to know the results.

How does one do that? I'm using the VS 2015 that comes on the Dev VM. I deleted the hidden .vs folder in the project.

I just downloaded a new VM, installed the latest updates, sync'd the project with VS and STILL intellisense isn't working!

I'm at a loss. What can I do??

Hello Wmyk,

Did you try resetting the Intellisense settings in Visual Studio?

I have done this and you are right, there are no errors. I have a ton of code to write and with 30+ fields, it's going to be a nightmare, especially since Intellisense will fight me the entire time.

I have seen this happening sometimes with intellisense . Just type your field after this keyword and build , you shouldn't see any errors.

Any ideas what I can do?

How can this type of stuff happen all the time? It's the latest Dev VM from LCS and I can't reference any fields on tables using "this." keyword.

I've performed all the steps listed here, plus deleted the project *.vs folder, devenv /resetuserdata and even a few more caches and I don't get it.

Intellisense works for all sorts of other things. It's an issue with the "this" keyword.

I created a brand new table "MyTestTable", added EDT "SalesId", then created MyMethod and look what I'm seeing:

Hello Wmyk,

Try these two settings.

1. Go to Tools-> Text Editor -> All languages -> General and check "Auto List Members" is checked.

Alternatively, You can try building a simple C# Console application and see if Intellisense works. If that's correct, then run the following steps:

1. In Visual Studio, try running this Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset all settings.

2. In Visual Studio, Edit -> Refresh Local Cache.

A couple of other questions:

1. Does the Intellisense work for Other Project Types?

2. Was there any kind of memory leak or process crash in VS2015?

Last and final step, restart Visual Studio or check for any updates to Visual Studio (which shouldn't be the case because it is Visual Studio 2015).

Thanks,
