I was having an issue on my laptop where the Intellisense was broken when debugging C# code. It is working for VB.NET code. Here’s what it looks like for VB.NET when you start to type a variable name in the Watch window when in the debugger:
The problem is if I debug a C# project and try the same thing, I get nothing. No Intellisense even using the Ctrl-Space keyboard shorcut. Even the Immediate Window doesn’t work.
Since on my laptop I have ReSharper and a bunch of other add-ins installed, I chalked it up to some kind of conflict. But today, I just rebuilt a desktop workstation and put a clean install of Visual Studio 2008 Team System with SP1 and nothing else installed. Guess what… the problem still exists for me. Some Google searches also didn’t help. It doesn’t look like anyone else is having this issue, so I figured I better get a blog post about it in case you are in the same situation. I will update this post if I find a solution.
Please comment if you are having the same issue, or even better had the issue but found a fix!
