VS2013 intellisense code completion

Question

First I thought it was a problem of VS2013 RC/beta but now I installed VS2013 RTM and still have the same problem: code completion does only open after I execute it manually by strg+space. How can I turn on auto open the windows after typed e.g. a point?

Answer 1

When intellisense is displayed is a language specific setting. If you're asking about c# then you want to check the following

• Tools -> Options
• Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense
• Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked

If you're using a different language please update the question and I'll try to point you in the right direction

Answer 2

Be sure that your IntelliSense is activated

Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Statement completion

Then, be sure Auto list members is checked and Parameter Information.

Answer 3

This happened after uninstalling Resharper 8.x (I don't see the point given VS 2013's advances), so I'd chalk this to an unclean resharper uninstall.

The solution is very quick though:

• Open VS2013
• Tools -> Import and Export settings
• Reset all settings
• Visual C#

Answer 4

TOOLS->Import and Export Settings Wizard->Reset all settings->select “No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings”->Choose a Default Collection of settings. Check it again.

Answer 5

If none of the above suggestions work, check if you have an extension Web Essentials installed. Try removing it (and install again). Web Essentials has caused my intellisense to stop working multiple times and a simple re-install always fixes the issue for me.

Answer 6

This happened to me after uninstalling Resharper 8.x

Solution:

Tools -> Options Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is *un*checked

Tools -> Options Text Editor -> C# -> Intellisense Ensure "Show completion list after a character is typed" is checked
