intellisense

[dragonslayer008]

I made a control library project using Visual Studio 2005 with C++/
CLI. I now have my code working and running, but none of the
intellisense works. Is there a setting I need to turn on, or is the
intellisense for C++/CLI not good?

The Intellisense for C++ in general can get confused. One thing you
can try is to close the solution and delete the .ncb file - it'll get
rebuilt when you next open the solution.

In hindsight, it might have been a good idea to have an option in the GUI of
VC++ to delete the Intellisense file without having to do it manually (i.e.,
find directory, find file, delete it manually). And since it tends to grow
over time, an option that automatically deletes it when it reaches a
user-definable size would also be nice.

My 2 cents...

Better still - it needs to be flawless and work without being a
glutton.

I also agree with David.

This is most workable solution to the intellisense problem.
I mean deleting the ncb file. Also one needs to check if the
tools->options->C/C++ General options are set correctly.

Has MS indicated publically that they are aware of the Intellisense problem
(which has existed for years), and have they (at least theoretically) fixed
it in 2008?

Intellisense is one of the most useful tools when it works, and one of the
worst hinderances when it doesn't! : )
