How can I reset the intellisense settings in VS 2008?


I've got a fresh install of VS 2008 Standard and I've installed DevExpress DXPerience 2008 with CodeRush! and for some reason, my intellisense decided to half-work.

I have:

class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
}

I can type:

Person p = new Person();
p.

... and intellisense will show none of the members for Person, UNLESS I delete the '.' and type it again. Then it'll work as I always expect it.

This happens among objects/projects/solutions consistently. I'm betting that it's a VS or CodeRush! setting but I'd like to rule out VS before I try to re-install CodeRush! (takes a while).


Solution

  • Please take a look at the following settings in your Visual Studio:

    1. Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General -> Statement completion -> Auto list members
    2. Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General -> Statement completion -> Parameter information
    3. Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General -> IntelliSense -> Show completion list after a character is typed
    4. Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> General -> IntelliSense -> Committed by pressing the space bar

    Are they all activated? If not, please do so.
