IntelliSense has forgotten my code snippets!

Hi all

I have a stack of code snippets imported into Visual Studio. Just recently, they have stopped displaying in Intellisense.

If the keyboard shortcut doesn't bring up anything else on IntelliSense, then I can tab and the code snippet is inserted just fine.

However, if the keyboard shortcut for the snippet happens to also bring up other items in IntelliSense, tabbing will select the first of those items, so I actually can't use the code snippet at all!

Does anyone have any ideas why IntelliSense would be unable to list my code snippet shortcuts? I started using ReSharper recently, but that wouldn't be the problem surely?!

Thanks for your help

David

Hi.

As the alternative you can use Visual Assist X. In my opinion it one of the best plugins to code completion. Look for some cracked versions...

Why would a software developer steel software? Isn't this like sawing off the branch you're sitting on? AFAIK a personal license is ~$250. Divide this by how much one hour of your work is worth. If it saves you this amount of hours, it was worth to pay the money. Here, it pays off very quickly. And I don't feel overpaid.

Anyway, it is indeed very addictive. I have yet to see a developer who tried it and was not bothering their manager to buy it afterwards. You have been warned. `:)`

@sbi I agree with you, but I wrote about a crack, because don't know, is there any trial 30-day period for *Visual Assist X*. So the best way, in my opinion, is first to try it, then buy it, if I'd like (but not for all apps ]:-> )...

@mosg: You get a 30 days trial.

@sbi No, thanks.

@mosg: LOL. I meant "you" in the general sense - __one__ gets a 30 days trial

It is certainly connected to installing Resharper. First thing it does is turn IntelliSense off. Check this question for help with preserving your snippets.

Okay - so it is a ReSharper issue.Thanks for the clarification!
