    Visual C++ Studio 2008, Intellisense????

    Hi!
    We have a problem with the intellisense and the ClassView window.
    Sometimes there are a few clases that are incorrectly identify by the intellisense of the program. These classes appears with an icon exclamation (!) and we can´t acces them through the ClassView. The classes are always the same a few, 4 o 5. And sometimes when we open again the program apperas correctly.
    IT seems to be aleatory. And the resuslts atre diferrent if we works in differents Pc terminals. Is this normal? Could be a serious problem? Please we need help.
    Thanks..

    C++ Intellisence sucks in all Visual Studio versions. The only way I know is to buy Visual Assist...

    From my experience, solution with 20-30 C++ projects is almost unusable in VS2010 because of super-slow Intellisence. Disabling Intellisence removes also Class View, effectively converting Visual Studio to some kind of Notepad

    Maybe it's time to upgrade your machine? I have no issues at all with a solution that contains 32 projects.
    Even so, personally I think the solution has way to many projects but it's how my client have made it. I prefer to keep the number of projects to a minimum as it's very rare that you need to update everything in the same session.
    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.

    I've had Intellisense problems for years. I've given up and bought Visual Assist X. It does the job much better than VS, and has plenty of other benefits beside. I'm using VS2005 mostly. I did upgrade to VS2008 hoping it would improve something, but in the end I really couldn't see any improvements, so I stayed with VS2005, and with VAX, it all works nicely. I haven't tried VS2010.

    I used to switch off Intellisense but in VS 2012 (Express for Windows Desktop, update 2) it looks very good actually. At least for my fairly small project.
