Answer 1

I figured out how to solve my problem from this post, maybe it will also work for some of you.

I followed these steps:

1. Close the solution.
2. Delete the intellisense database file for the solution: .ncb
3. Open the solution.
4. Rebuild the solution.

(I believe either step 3 or 4 regenerates the intellisense database file when it is missing)

Intellisense, "go to defintion" and "find all references" should be working again.
