intellisense

When adding a DLL as a reference to an ASP.Net project, VS2008 adds several files to the bin directory. If the DLL is called foo.dll, VS2008 adds foo.dll.refresh, foo.pdb and foo.xml. I know what foo.dll is :-), why does VS2008 add the other three files? What do those three files do? Can I delete them? Do they need to be added in source control? Source Control: Ben Straub said in a comment to this post: The .dll.refresh files should be added to the source control if required, while the .xml , .pdb and of course the .dll files should not be added. John Rudy explained when to add the .refresh

I just updated an mvc4 project (using vs2012) to mvc5. After having a lot of issues related to dependencies, I finally found this tutorial and straightened things up so that it builds without issues However, I have to intellisense for any of the views (.cshtml files): @using, @model, @html.*, @styles... nothing works. I must have broken the reference to the razor view engine not being able to parse them properly. I have double checked the web.configs and cannot see anything. Any ideas? Thanks. hatsrumandcode ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 for Visual Studio 2012 has now been released and should

Install order: Visual Studio 2008 ReSharper Uninstall ReSharper CodeRush with Refactor Pro Uninstall CodeRush with Refactor Pro Now my intellisense doesn't work. Any settings I should look at before I try a uninstall / reinstall? I'm sure there must be something buried in the Options that these plug-ins hook into or override. Here are a couple of settings to check: Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > General > Statement completion "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" should be checked. Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > General > IntelliSense "Show completion list after a

I'm testing out Xamarin.Android in Visual Studio 2010 and have noticed that I have no Android Intellisense when I'm working in an Android Layout (.axml) file. However, I do get Android Intellisense when I'm working in a .cs file. Example: Here is a screenshot of my Main.axml file that lives in my Layout directory. Notice how the intellisense doesn't contain anything within the Android namespace. What do I need to do to get intellisense to display the Android namespace in a .axml file? Kannan Balasubramanian has posted an answer that worked for me ( Binary Bits ) Here's Kannan's solution: Most

There's a Google Maps API v3 Visual Studio Intellisense Helper , which presumably works great for Visual Studio, but Aptana (based on Eclipse) uses a different JavaScript documentation format - ScriptDoc (.sdoc files). ScriptDoc is also the name of a VS utility to convert JS files with Intellisense comments into XML, just to confuse things. I've tried adding the Intellisense files as file / global references in Aptana, but all this gives is completion for the word google and no completion or documentation in the google namespace. Possible solutions: Find someone who's already done this for

Has anyone found a plugin for Visual Studio to allow for PowerShell syntax highlighting or IntelliSense? If not, does anyone have any idea why not? I keep hoping someone else with copious free time would have tackled this by now. I have hope since other folks have managed to take the limited documentation and build custom IntelliSense providers for other languages such as NHaml . Edit: To clarify,I'm not looking for a list of IDEs that can be used to develop PowerShell . I spend 90% of my day in Visual Studio. It already does a really good job of slicing and dicing code. That is the IDE I

When trying out these tutorials ( T4 Tutorial: Creating reusable code generation templates ) I noticed that although I was using plain c# I didn't get any intellisense, probably because of the file extension (.tt) Isn't there anyway to say to Visual Studio to consider those .tt files as .cs files and thus get the correct intellisense help? Oleg Sych You can purchase the professional version of T4 Editor. It works very well in standalone .tt files, but unfortunately, due to the differences in how the pro version of T4 Editor and T4 itself compile the templates, you will get false errors

I've got this very odd bug that appears to be a quirk in Visual Studio 2010 : Sometimes, when moving the cursor into double quotes of a CSS style="" attribute the cursor refuses to move. I can't type anything, and the keys that respond are the UP / DOWN cursor keys and the DEL key (but not BACKSPACE ). Typing does nothing, but pushing LEFT / RIGHT on the cursor keys produces the following error: The operation could not be completed I've got no idea what's causing this, but I would hazard a guess that Intellisense is getting very confused and bugging out. At the moment, whenever this happens, I

I want to use code snippets in VSCode. But when I type, for example, for in javascript file, the Intellisense doesn't suggest snippet "for-loop" - I need to manually scroll the dropdown and select it. Is there any way to make VSCode to suggest snippets at first? Thank you! UPD: I have found the person with same problem, but he has no answers - link You need to use editor.snippetSuggestions config option with "top" value. Please, see Customizing IntelliSense article for more tips and tricks. There is one more way to deal with this issue by setting "editor.tabCompletion": true, that way whenever
