Using Intellisense in Visual C++ 2008 Express. Intellisense for one project not available when editing file in another project.

Question

I have a multiple vcproj solution going and it seems that no other project's intellisense information is available when editing a file in another project. However when I'm within a file in a project, all intellisense information is available for that project.

Any idea why?

Answer 1

Are you missing a using directive or a reference ?

Answer 2

you need to include the other project's namespace in the file with a using directive in order for the intellisense to show for the other project.
