How to get IntelliSense to reliably work in Visual Studio 2008
c, c++, intellisense, visual-studio-2008
Solution
I've also realized than Intellisense is sometime 'lost', on some big project. Why? No idea.
This is why we have bought Visual Assist (from Tomato software) and disabled Intellisense by deleting the dll feacp.dll in the Visual studio subdirectory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcpackages)
This is not a solution, just a workaround.
Problem
Does anyone know how to get IntelliSense to work reliably when working in C/C++ projects? It seems to work for about 1 in 10 files. Visual Studio 2005 seems to be a lot better than 2008. Edit: Whilst not necessarily a solution, the work-around provided here: How to get IntelliSense to reliably work in Visual Studio 2008 Is probably the best bet if I want a decent IntelliSense system.
