intellisense stopped working

[Bruno van Dooren]

Hi,

i am using VC .NET 2003 and from time to time intellisense just does not
work anymore.
i have noticed that this happens most when
- i am working with stl code. (however it seems to work better for template
code compared to previous versions)
- i am working in a cpp file that contains the implementation of a number of
classes. in that case it sometimes works, and other times it won't.

is there something specific that i have to do or beware of in order to keep
intellisense working?
it works fine in other cpp files of the same project.

kind regards,
Bruno.

For me recently, it would quit working whenever I added a new source file
to a project, each time I added one (was importing/converting a old
project, and adding existing files to the new project one by one).

The only thing I found to do was to add a new file to my project, close the
project, delete the project's .NCB file, then reopen the project. You could
try something similar...

Intellisense is highly flakey with C++, and apparently this is quite okay
with Microsoft (!). Very disappointing that these kinds of bugs have such a
low priority.
