Intelli-Sense How do I FIX???

[Mike Kearl]

Anyone here having problems with intellesense just stopping?

Sometimes after compiling and running a program when I go back to the editor
and start typing all of my syntax highlighting dissapears. All of my text
goes black like a regular text document. If I rebuild the project or
projects the syntax highlighting shows up again.

Also when the text goes black all of my intelli-sense quits working as well
or only shows main methods and does not drill down to the specific methods
it should.

If I continue to program I have to type everything without intellesense and
when I do this no syntax formatting happens including brace placement etc.
Also when it is acting like this if I were to make a mistake and try doing
an undo I get an error and nothing is undone. It is like visual studio
totally loses track of everything.

Another thing I have noticed is that some of my project dates do not update
either. When I first go into visual studio it shows the projects and when
they were last updated. Some of the projects do not update the date of
when they were last worked on even though I work on them quite a bit.

In order to solve the problem temporarly I have to exit out of visual studio
and reload the project. Help this is getting very very anoying!!!!

Couple of other things I should mention...

I have tried deleting my projects obj and bin directories as well and this
does not seem to fix the problem.

I have 2 Gig Ram in machine, lots of diskspace etc. so I dont think it is a
resource issue.

I have reinstalled VS 2003 with the same results..

Running Windows XP Pro

Deleted all temp files on the machine.

I have all windows updates installed.

Hi Mike,

Yes, I saw it too.
Deleting obj and perhaps bin folders might help.

Ya I have already tried deleting both and it doesn't seem to help.

I have also seen a couple of posts mentioning long lines that may cause the
problem but I dont have any.
So I am still at a loss.

Close the project, delete the .ncb file in the project's root directory,
then reopen your project. This will fix a one-time problem.

Thanks roger for the help..

I didn't have any .ncb files in the project root or in any sub directories.

Look in your licenses.licx file and delete any blank lines. Sounds wierd,
but try it.

If you can't find the file, Show all files (it's a button in the solution
explorer when you select a project), or edit it outside of VS.

I have found that there is quite a few programmers out there that are having
this problem..I have had several of you email me asking if I have found a
solution yet. It would be nice to know how many so that MS might notice the
problem and fix it. If your following this thread please post here. As of
yet I still have no solution to this problem.

WOW!!!! This might be the solution. I did have one extra blank line in my
licx file. After removing it and recompiling VS seems to be working better.
I havn't had any problems since on this project that has been giving me fits
for weeks. Thanks Donald for the tip!!!!

I just got another message from someone that has also found similiar
problems and the extra lines in the licx file seems to be the fix.

Here is a link with that thread:
