Turning off intellisense for a project

[Clive Dixon]

I have a project as part of a solution which contains a very large number of
autogenerated class files. When compiling the solution and the autogenerated
files have changed, visual studio takes an age to recreate intellisense
information for the autogenerated classes. Is there any way whatsoever that
I can turn off intellisense generation on a per-project or per-class manner?
I had hoped that [EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)] would stop
the generation of intellisense info for the specified item, but it appears
to do nothing of the sort.

There is in Visual Basic (you use Attributes), but I don't know about
C#. Probably, if you dig deep enough into the options.

But why would you want to turn off IntelliSense? That's one of the
most useful features of a strongly typed language like C# is.

Because firstly, every time I regenerate my autogenerated classes (created
using a custom tool) and then recompile my solution, it takes 10-15 minutes
for Visual Studio to recreate the intellisense info for that project. That's
how bad my problem is. Normally I would not need to regenerate the classes
on a regular basis, but while I am currently making lots of changes to my
custom tool, it is slowing down my development horrendously.

Secondly, all my autogenerated classes are interface based and will only be
accessed via the interfaces - thus I will not be losing anything by not
having intellisense info available for the classes.

IntelliSense can also be intrusive and force itself on us wasting time and
effort. I would like a way to easily and rapidly toggle it on and off
myself. Like Ctrl-I for example

In C# you have to specify an XML file where the intellisense info will
be written to (project properties Build tab XML Documentation
file).

Clear the checkbox and no intellisense info should be generated.
