intellisense alive and well in C# but DOA in C++

Greetings, Gurus.

Say, I just noticed something a li'l strange .... In my VS2010 (where C# was designated the "compiler of choice" or whatever it's called at installation time), Intellisense works very well indeed for C#, but is "not available" when working with C++ on the same VS2010 on the same machine.

An additional indication/symptom: after making a code change in C#, I can go directly to >DEBUG >Start Debugging (or >Start without debugging) and the code is automatically compiled before execution begins. With C++, if I make a code change and go directly to >Debug>.... I get an error message telling me the project is out of date and I must compile it explicitly.

Does anyone here have experience with this? Is this perhaps an installation thing ? Maybe a VS Studio Options thing ?

If you've fought this battle before, please let me know how you worked your magic to resolve it.



FLASH: THIS JUST IN:: Aha! I see that the Help section of VS2010 has some documentation re Intellisense being unavailable. Hopefully I'll find that its something wrong with my project ... that I won't need to re-install VS2010. Kinda late now but I'll get on this t'morra.

Oh, an' re the explicit compile thingy, I found that just clicking the "Don't show this box again" resolves that issue ... I now have auto compile after a code change.


Thanks anyway, Guys, sorry to have bothered ya.
